Trinamool’s Mahua Moitra asked to vacate government bungalow immediately

The Directorate of Estates, responsible for overseeing the Central government’s official and residential properties, has requested immediate vacation of the government-allotted bungalow by Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra. Originally assigned to her as a Member of Parliament (MP), the government is now urging her to vacate the luxurious residence following her expulsion from the Lok Sabha last year due to involvement in the cash-for-query scandal.

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry source, reported that Moitra has been asked to vacate the house immediately and that a team of the department will be sent to ensure that the property is “vacated at the earliest”.

Directorate of Estates to Enforce Prompt Vacating of Mahua Moitra’s Government Bungalow

“Since the eviction notice was issued to her (Moitra) on Tuesday, a team of officials from the directorate of estates will now be sent to ensure that the government bungalow is vacated at the earliest,” a source told the news agency.

Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha on December 8 after the Ethics Panel found her guilty of sharing her parliamentary login credentials with businessman Darshan Hiranandani. Earlier, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had lodged a complaint against Moitra saying she accepted bribes in return for asking the businessman’s queries in the Lok Sabha. In her defense, Moitra said she had never accepted any bribes from the businessman and that she shared her credentials only to have his staff type out her queries on to the portal.
