BJP media head to get Priyanka’s Delhi bungalow

New Delhi, July 5

The government has allotted a Delhi bungalow, currently occupied by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, to the BJP’s national media head and Rajya Sabha member Anil Baluni, an official of the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry said on Sunday.

The ministry had on July 1 cancelled the allotment of the bungalow to Gandhi, saying that she was not entitled to the facility following the withdrawal of her SPG security cover.

The government has asked the Congress general secretary to vacate the 35 Lodhi Estate bungalow by August 1. “Priyanka Gandhi’s bungalow has been allotted to Anil Baluni following his request. He will get possession of the bungalow once the Congress leader vacates it,” the official said. Sources said Baluni had made a request for a change of his residence on health grounds. He was treated for cancer sometime ago. — PTI
