Bihar Deputy CM Changes Residence, Avoids Path Taken by Tejashwi Yadav Patna: Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has made a notable alteration at his new residence at 5 Deshratna Marg, just two days after moving in on Vijayadashami. The gate previously used by former Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav has been permanently closed, with a boundary being constructed around it. This decision comes amid ongoing discussions about the "Vastu Dosh" associated with the bungalow, as none of the former Deputy CMs who stayed here managed to complete their tenure. Questions have arisen about whether this is a coincidence or if the bungalow truly has a Vastu-related defect. The residence has seen several Deputy CMs over the past decade—Tejashwi Yadav twice, Sushil Kumar Modi, and Tarkishore Prasad—none of whom completed their full terms in office. Despite this, Tejashwi has maintained a particular fondness for the bungalow, where he had lavish renovations done, including imported granite and chandeliers. Responding to the Vastu Dosh claims, RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed criticized the decision to close the gate, accusing the Deputy CM of promoting confusion and superstition. He suggested that the move reflected a lack of self-confidence in both the Deputy CM and his political stance. Samrat Choudhary dismissed the notion of a curse on the residence, stating that people, not the bungalow, are the issue. He indirectly referred to Tejashwi Yadav, with whom the bungalow has become closely associated. Choudhary emphasized that the bungalow is not a problem for him, further mentioning that his focus is not on securing the Deputy CM position again in the future. Over the past decade, the residence has become infamous for its history of incomplete tenures. Despite Tejashwi’s best efforts to make the residence luxurious, including his first stay in 2015, he has yet to complete a full term there. This association with unfinished tenures has fueled the perception of the bungalow being unlucky for its residents. Sushil Kumar Modi, who moved into the bungalow in 2017 after Tejashwi, famously criticized the extravagant spending on its renovation. Modi remarked that even the Prime Minister’s residence pales in comparison to the lavish interior of 5 Deshratna Marg. He later vacated the bungalow without completing his term, reinforcing the ongoing myth surrounding the residence. Tejashwi, however, had been reluctant to leave the bungalow and was eventually forced to vacate it by court order in 2017, following accusations of misuse of government funds for personal luxury. This led to political confrontations, and the residence continues to be a point of contention in Bihar’s political circles.
