The tussle over the ‘12 Tughalq Road’ bungalow in posh Lutyens’ Zone is not yet over as the government till date has not been able to take possession of the house.
The sprawling bungalow, type VIII, is currently occupied by Charan Singh’s son Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh who has not yet handed over the government property and has asked the bungalow to be converted into a memorial to his father, Chaudhary Charan Singh, a former Prime Minister, officials said.
The government, however, has rejected the demand, saying the Union Cabinet in 2000 had ‘banned’ conversion of Lutyens’ bungalows into memorials.
‘Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Ajit Singh is yet to hand over the bungalow to us though we have information that all his belongings have been shifted now,’ said a senior Urban Development Ministry official.
The official said after vacating the bungalow it has to be surrendered to the CPWD and then it will issue a certificate after the clearance of all dues including power and water.
