Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra, expelled from Lok Sabha last month owing to unethical conduct, is set to vacate her government bungalow on January 19. The Bengal MP received an eviction notice earlier this week directing her to vacate the bungalow immediately.
The eviction notice was rather strong-worded where the Centre asked Ms Moitra to immediately vacate the bungalow. The notice was issued by the Directorate of Estates, which overlooks the management of government properties, stated that if Ms Moitra does not vacate the premises by herself then she or any other occupant in her place stands “liable to be evicted from the allotted premises, and if the need be, by the use of such force as may be necessary”.
The government’s notice read that Ms Moitra had been “allowed sufficient opportunity” but she failed to prove her authorised occupancy.
Expulsion of Mahua Moitra
Mahua Moitra, guilty of “unethical conduct”, had to face expulsion from Lok Sabha on December 8 last year for allegedly accepting gifts from businessman Darshan Hiranandani and sharing her user ID and password of the Parliament website with him.
