An RTI reply by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has revealed that the rent of various properties occupied by leaders of the Congress party, including the official residence of Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi in Delhi, has not been paid yet.
According to news agency ANI, the RTI was filed by activist Sujit Patel and the reply by the ministry stated that the rent amount of Rs 12,69,902 is yet to be paid for the party’s Akbar Road headquarters. The last rent was paid in December 2012.
Moreover, the party is yet to pay the rent of Rs 4,610 for Sonia Gandhi’s 10 Janpath Road residence. The last time rent was paid for this property was in September 2020.
Similarly, the rent of Rs 5,07,911 of Bungalow No. C-ll/109 which is in Delhi’s Chanakyapuri area and is occupied by Vincent George, personal secretary to Sonia Gandhi, is pending. The rent was last paid in August 2013.
Every political party is provided three years’ time period to build their own party office after which the government allotted bungalow will have to be vacated, according to housing rules which permit accommodation to political parties.
The Congress was supposed to leave the Akbar Road office and a few more bungalows by 2013, however, the
party took multiple extensions. In July 2020, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra vacated her house of over 20 years and handed over 35, Lodhi Estate, to the central government after an eviction notice was served to her.
