Rabri Devi Challenges Bihar CM Over Eviction from Government Bungalow

Rabri Devi, who once led Bihar as chief minister, has issued a bold challenge to current Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, daring him to physically evict her from a government residence she has occupied for years. Located at 10, Circular Road in Patna, the bungalow has been at the center of a political stir after being reallocated to Dairy and Fisheries Minister Nand Kishor Ram.

The indignant leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal expressed her defiance upon returning from a family celebration in Delhi, dismissing the directive as the new chief minister's 'excitement'. Devi's family received the property allocation during an earlier administration, and she has maintained her residence there, despite recent instructions to relocate.

Originally designated for the leader of the opposition, the bungalow offers proximity to key government buildings and has housed the RJD's leading figures for numerous years. Despite the building construction department's order for relocation, Devi and her family continue to reside in the villa, emphasizing resistive continuity amid changing political tides.
