Officials cite a 2006 rule with court backing that forces parties to leave government bungalows once they have built their own offices.

Overview

  • The notices, dated March 13 and served in mid-March, were reported Wednesday and set a March 28 deadline for Congress to vacate 24 Akbar Road and the Indian Youth Congress to leave 5 Raisina Road.
  • Congress leaders called the move politically driven and said they will seek a court stay, with senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi leading the legal review.
  • A Congress delegation met Housing and Urban Affairs Minister M. L. Khattar after the notices as the party weighs legal and administrative steps to delay or avoid eviction.
  • The Indian Youth Congress said it will formally request more time to move from Raisina Road while it explores legal options to challenge the deadline.
  • Reporters note that both Congress and the BJP have stretched the same rule in the past, with BJP keeping 11 Ashoka Road until 2024, which fuels calls for consistent enforcement across parties.
