Fifteen new ministers, 14 from the BJP quota and Pashupati Kumar Paras of the LJP were allotted bungalows in place of their incumbents in the previous Grand Alliance government, according to an office order of the Bihar Building Construction department dated August 29.
While Sushil Modi will move into 5 Desh Ratna Marg bungalow, its current occupant Tejaswi Yadav will now get 1 Polo Road bungalow of Sushil Modi.
The bungalow allotted to Tejashwi's Yadav's elder brother and former health minister Tej Pratap Yadav at 3, Deshratan Marg has been marked for the chairperson of the Bihar legislative council.
Interestingly, however, the two former Congress ministers including former education minister Ashok Choudhary and Animal Husbandry Department minister Awadhesh Kumar Singh have been allowed to retain their government bungalows triggering political speculations.
Among others, Agriculture minister Prem Kumar has got 3, Circular Road bungalow, Road Construction department minister Nand Kishore Yadav 2, Strand Road), land revenue minister Ram Narayan Mandal (12, Strand Road) and Tourism minister Pramod Kumar 4, Strand Road.
