Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has taken an indirect swipe at former Chief Minister and RJD leader Rabri Devi over her refusal to vacate an official bungalow that has been allotted to a minister in the NDA government.
The controversy began after the building construction department issued an order assigning the bungalow to dairy and fisheries minister Nand Kishor Ram.
Rabri Devi, who was on vacation when the order was issued, returned to Patna and made it clear that she had no intention of leaving the residence.
Choudhary hit out at the former Chief Minister, saying it was "not a monarchy" where someone could refuse to vacate a government residence.
He targeted the opposition party, saying, "Some think a bungalow is a sort of inheritance. One house is needed for the mother and another for the son. This is not a monarchy."
