Patna, Nov 25 (NationPress) In a major shake-up of official residences in Bihar, the Building Construction Department has instructed former minister Tej Pratap Yadav to vacate his government-assigned bungalow located at 26 M Strand Road.
This residence has been reassigned to Lakhendra Kumar Roshan, the Minister for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Welfare.
The announcement coincides with an eviction order issued for the residence of former Chief Minister Rabri Devi at 10 Circular Road, further fueling speculation about Tej Pratap's future, especially as he is already away from his mother's home.
Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, the chief of RJD, has recently encountered numerous challenges. His tumultuous relationship with the RJD leadership came to light after a personal photograph went viral on social media. Despite Tej Pratap's claim of a hacked account, Lalu Prasad expelled him from the party and family for a duration of six years.
In the aftermath, Tej Pratap established his own political party, the Janshakti Janata Dal, and contested the Mahua seat during the Assembly elections. Unfortunately, his party did not achieve any electoral wins, marking a significant political defeat. The loss of his official residence now presents yet another hurdle in his political journey.
With the new government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in place, the Building Construction Department has allocated residences to 13 ministers. According to the latest directive, Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, the Industry Minister, has been assigned 2 Strand Road, Shreyasi Singh, the Information Technology and Sports Minister, 4 Strand Road, Sanjay Singh Tiger, the Labour Resources Minister, 41 Harding Road, and Arun Shankar Prasad, the Minister for Tourism and Arts, Culture and Youth, 25 Harding Road.
Additionally, Ram Kripal Yadav, the Agriculture Minister, has been assigned 43 Harding Road, Narayan Prasad, the Disaster Management Minister, 12 Harding Road, Rama Nishad, the Backward Class and Extremely Backward Class Welfare Minister, 3 Circular Road, Pramod Kumar, the Cooperative and Environment Minister, 27 Harding Road, Sanjay Kumar, the Sugarcane Industry Minister, 21 Harding Road, Sanjay Kumar Singh, the Public Health Engineering Minister, 13 Harding Road, and Deepak Prakash, the Panchayati Raj Minister, 24 M Strand Road.
The Building Construction Department confirmed that all prior housing allotment orders have been revised in accordance with the updated list that has been sanctioned by the appropriate authority.
