While sending a strong message to the former Chief Ministers of the states, the Supreme court today asked the former CMs to vacate the government accommodation. "Any such possession of government accommodation should be vacated within two months," the SC said in an order on Monday ruling on a petition filed by NGO Lok Prahari. A dead line of two months has been issued to 6 ex-CMs of Uttar Pradesh including Samajwadi party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and BSP Chief Mayawati to empty the Government owned bungalows under their procession.
Six former chief ministers NDTiwari, Kalyan Singh, Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Rajnath Singh and Ram Naresh Yadav- have been given government accommodation in UP. This comes as a significant ruling on VVIP encroachment on government properties. A Lucknow-based NGO had filed this petition and it had been pending with the Supreme Court. The court had reserved its order for 20 months. But now, with the Supreme Court cracking its whip, this ruling that is specific to Uttar Pradesh as of now, can also be invoked for other states.
