Overview
- On May 31 the Building Construction Department issued a second notice giving Rabri Devi a 15-day ultimatum and formally allotted 10 Circular Road to Dairy and Fisheries Minister Nand Kishore Ram.
- Rabri Devi has rejected the order and said she will not move from the bungalow, challenging the state to evict her by force.
- Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has publicly insisted government residences are not personal property and said the administration will enforce allotment rules if necessary.
- RJD leaders call the move 'vendetta politics', have demanded a full account of bungalow allocations and point to the Chief Minister’s enlarged official complex as evidence of double standards.
- The bungalow has been the Lalu family’s Patna base since about 2005, and the transfer to a Dalit minister plus the standoff raise the prospect of legal challenges, physical eviction efforts, and intensified political fallout in Bihar.
