Congress Leader and former Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi has agreed to vacate his official bungalow at 12 Tughlak Lane, after being disqualified as a member last week.
In a letter addressed to the Lok Sabha Secretariat, he wrote, “As an elected member of the Lok Sabha for the last 4 terms, it is the mandate of the people to which I owe the happy memories of my time spent here.” He added, “Without prejudice to my rights, I will, of course, abide by the details contained in your letter”.
Gandhi was disqualified after being convicted of criminal defamation in a Surat court last week. On Monday (March 27), he was given a notice by the House committee to vacate his official bungalow within 30 days. The final day for him to vacate the residence is April 22.
