Rabri Devi begins vacating 10 Circular Road, belongings moved in the dead of night

Key Highlights

• While it remains unclear where the items are being moved, the activity has confirmed that the family’s exit from the property has begun. advertisementNEW ALLOTMENT, OLD HOUSE TO BE VACATEDThe Bihar government’s Building Construction Department has allotted Rabri Devi a new official residence at 39 Harding Road.
• With the fresh allotment formalised, it has also become mandatory for her to vacate 10 Circular Road, where the family has lived since 2006.
• Officials said the shifting of belongings followed the allotment order, though no official timeline has been announced for handing over the bungalow.
• HOW THE LALU FAMILY GOT 10 CIRCULAR ROADAfter ruling Bihar for nearly fifteen years, the RJD lost power in 2005.
• When Nitish Kumar became chief minister and moved into 1 Aney Marg, Rabri Devi vacated the chief minister’s residence and was allotted 10 Circular Road, a bungalow located next to the CM’s house. Despite changes in political fortunes, the residence remained in Rabri Devi’s name and gradually became one of the most closely watched political addresses in the state, functioning as the informal headquarters of the RJD. TEJASHWI’S RISE AND DESHRATNA MARG ROWThe Lalu family’s hold on government accommodation first came under scrutiny during the Grand Alliance government in 2015, when Tejashwi Yadav became deputy chief minister and moved into 5 Deshratna Marg.
