New Delhi, August 8
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been re-allotted his old official residence in New Delhi, a day after he was reinstated as Member of Parliament.
The Congress leader had on April 22 vacated his official bungalow, 12 Tughlaq Lane, nearly a month after he was disqualified as a Lok Sabha Member of Parliament. The action came following a Surat court convicting on March 23 to two years imprisonment in the 2019 Modi surname defamation case.
After vacating the official bungalow in April, the leader had shifted to his mother Sonia Gandhi’s 10, Janpath residence. Following which the Congress said on its official Twitter handle in Hindi that “this country is the home of Rahul Gandhi. Rahul who resides in the hearts of people.”
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the conviction and two-year jail term imposed on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by a Gujarat court. On Monday, the Lok Sabha secretariat issued the letter to reinstate the membership of Rahul Gandhi in the lower House of Parliament. He represents Kerala’s Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency.
In his first reaction after being re-allotted the residence, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘Mera ghar poora Hindustan hai,’ as arrived at the AICC Headquarters for a meeting with the leaders of Assam Congress.
