Rabri Devi Begins Vacating Patna Bungalow Amid Inventory Dispute and Security Downgrade
Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi has begun vacating her official residence at 10 Circular Road in Patna after a government deadline expired on June 29, with belongings being shifted to family properties including Tejashwi Yadav's residence. The bungalow, occupied by Rabri Devi for around two decades, has been allotted to Dairy and Fisheries Minister Nand Kishor Ram. Rabri Devi has sought an extension until July 5 to complete vacating due to a dispute over the official inventory of government-provided items. The state government also downgraded security cover for Rabri Devi and Lalu Prasad Yadav, prompting political reactions from the RJD leadership.
