Rabri Devi seeks more time to vacate official residence, cites Lalu’s health
Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi has requested more time to vacate her official government residence, citing the medical needs of her husband, Lalu Prasad. The state government has issued an eviction notice, as the property has been reallocated to a current cabinet minister.
Why it matters
This highlights the intersection of political power, housing disputes, and the personal health challenges faced by high-profile political figures in India.
Citing the poor health of her husband, Lalu Prasad, as the reason, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi on Tuesday (June 16, 2026) wrote to the State government seeking more time to vacate her official residence at 10, Circular Road. The Bihar government had earlier served notices to Ms. Devi to vacate the residence, where she has been living with family members, including Mr. Prasad, for over two decades. Ms. Devi had earlier dared the government to evict her from the residence using “force”.
