Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Union Minister Smriti Irani has vacated her government bungalow at 28 Tughlaq Crescent in Lutyens Delhi. Officials confirmed that Irani vacated the residence earlier this week.
Recent Electoral Defeat
Smriti Irani, who faced a significant defeat in the recently held Lok Sabha elections, was beaten by Congress leader Kishori Lal Sharma by a margin of more than 1.5 lakh votes in the Amethi parliamentary seat. This electoral outcome necessitated her move.
Compliance with Regulations
According to regulations, former ministers and MPs are required to vacate their government residences within a month following the formation of a new government. Irani’s adherence to this mandate underscores her commitment to the rules governing parliamentary housing allocations.
Transition of Residence
The process of vacating government bungalows is part of the broader protocol for ensuring smooth transitions following elections. Smriti Irani’s compliance serves as a reminder of the procedural norms in place for former ministers and MPs in India’s parliamentary system.
