However, ET has learnt that senior-most BJP leaders LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi are likely to continue in their official bungalows due to security considerations even though they are no longer MPs. Their bungalows will be put under a special category of the home ministry which has authority over some of the bungalows in the national capital. The Directorate of Estates under the Union housing and urban affairs ministry, is otherwise in charge of allotting bungalows to Union ministers and MPs.
Prior to election results, there were reports that some ministers of the previous government, including Vijay Goel, Prakash Javadekar, Nirmala Sitaraman and Sushma Swaraj, had not cleared their dues on their official bungalows till February. This was based on a RTI reply of the housing ministry.
Replying to the RTI query, the ministry had said minority affairs minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and minister for development of northeastern region, Jitendra Singh, also had outstanding payments. The dues were on furniture and other things provided at the bungalows.
