With Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar giving former CM Rabri Devi sufficient time to vacate the sprawling 1, Anne Marg house, her husband Railway Minister Lalu Prasad on Thursday said the couple had no lust for power or the bungalow and the process of shifting to the new residence allotted to them had begun.
"We don't live in a fool's paradise that we can prolong our stay in the Anne Marg house. We have to vacate it," he said when asked about the eviction notice issued to his wife and opposition leader in the state assembly Rabri Devi.
Rabri Devi has been allotted a bungalow at 10, Circular Road and the keys to it were handed over to her last evening. She had hinted shifting there would be done after 'Kharmas' considered inauspicious period for starting anything new.
Prasad ridiculed the hue and cry raised by the state building construction department authorities, who, he said, used "harsh and uncharitable" language in the notice for vacating the bungalow.
