New Delhi/Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has been allotted a government residence in New Delhi by the Central Government, officials said. The bungalow, located in Kamraj Lane within the Lutyens’ Delhi area, will serve as his official accommodation during visits to the national capital.
Bungalow in VVIP Zone
According to official allocation details, Choudhary has been assigned Bungalow No. 6 in Kamraj Lane, classified as a Type-8 government residence. The locality is considered a high-security VVIP zone, housing Union ministers, senior leaders and former chief ministers.
Officials said the bungalow will be used for official work, including meetings with central ministries and administrative discussions related to Bihar.
Previous Allotment
Reports indicate that the same bungalow was earlier allotted to former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Later, after he became a Rajya Sabha member, he was shifted to another government residence on Sunheri Bagh Road in Delhi.
The reassignment of the bungalow to the current Bihar chief minister has drawn attention in political circles.
Utility for Official Visits
The new allocation is expected to provide a fixed base for Samrat Choudhary during his Delhi visits, reducing reliance on temporary accommodation or state guest houses. Officials suggest it will streamline coordination with central government departments.
Political Context
Choudhary has been travelling frequently between Patna and Delhi since taking charge as chief minister. His allotment of a residence in a VVIP zone is being viewed as an administrative arrangement linked to his official responsibilities.
In Patna, the chief minister currently resides at Lok Sevak Awas, earlier known as 1 Aney Marg, which serves as the official residence of the Bihar chief minister.
