Priyanka Gandhi Vadra all set to vacate govt. bungalow; to temporarily move to Gurugram apartment
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
After the Central government on July 1, 2020 asked Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to vacate the official bungalow at 35 Lodhi Estate by month-end (July 2020), the Gandhi scion is all set to move out of the same. She would be temporarily moving to an apartment in DLF Aralia, Sector 42, Gurugram at Haryana.
As per reports, Priyanka has planned to reside in Gurugram for next few months, until her permanent residence is finalised. One of the shortlisted properties, which is located near Sujan Singh Park in New Delhi, can soon be the permanent residence of Vadra. The construction work for the residence in underway and is most likely to last for one or two months. Many of the belongings from Vadras official bungalow have been relocated to the Gurugram house and the security inspection process of the resi-dence has also been completed.
In November 2019, The Ministry of Home Affairs headed by Amit Shah had with-drawn the Special Protection Group (SPG) cover of Vadra along with brother Rahul Gandhi and mother Sonia Gandhi. Since then the family only continues to be under Z security by the CRPF. As per a letter by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, since Vadra does not have the facility of SPG protection anymore, she can’t reside in an official bungalow of the government.
Letter
Vadra would now be utilising her mother and Congress Interim Chief Sonia Gandhi’s New Delhi residence for political meetings post her shifting. In view of SPG security, Vadra was allocated the official bungalow since 1997.
But on July 1, the Central Government’s Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry issued her a notice to vacate the official bungalow.
Surprisingly, until now, no response has been recorded from Vadra but few leaders of the party labelled this move of Centre to be ?planned citing political revenge.
Rejecting all suggestions for extension of the notice period vis-à-vis the official bungalow, Vadra said that she would vacate the bungalow before the end of this month. As per reports, a source close to the Congress leader informed that the design and décor of the 23-year-old bungalow would remain intact.
