Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said that government bungalows are allowed to be retained by those who get "another job". While addressing the press conference, Puri said that Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad is still staying in a government bungalow, despite retiring as a Rajya Sabha member in February last year.
"There are some others also.... If someone gets another job, we regularise it. We have some cases," the Puri said. Recently, the Centre launched action against the former MPs and Union ministers who were overstaying in their official bungalows.
In March, Lok Sabha MP Chirag Paswan was evicted from bungalow allotted to his late father Ram Vilas Paswan.
