The Times of India, August 19, 2016
UP bypasses SC order, lets ex-CMs keep govt houses The Uttar Pradesh government has effected crucial changes to a state law that would allow former chief ministers of the state to occupy government bungalows for indefinite periods, a move that seeks to cleverly bypass the Supreme Court order on occupancy of CM bungalows. The Supreme Court had, in a significant ruling on VIP encroachment, said former CMs are not entitled to government accommodation and must vacate these in two months. Former UP CMs to be affected by the SC's order would've been Mulayam Singh Yadav and Ram Naresh Yadav (SP), Kalyan Singh and Rajnath Singh (BJP), Mayawati (BSP) and ND Tiwari (Congress).
With the court ordering all CMs to vacate their official bungalows within 15 days of leaving office, the UP cabinet has amended the law to grant legal sanctity to the government's decision to either allow CMs to continue to remain in government bungalows, or to issue fresh allotments.
