Mulayam, Mayawati Among Ex Chief Ministers Ordered To Vacate Bungalows In UP

The Supreme Court said today that former chief ministers in Uttar Pradesh can’t occupy official bungalows. They all have to vacate the bungalows in two months, the court said.

Former home minister Rajnath Singh, who was UP chief minister in 2000, is also believed to have retained his bungalow.
