Rabri Devi, a prominent leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and former Chief Minister of Bihar, has publicly declared her intention to remain in her official residence at 10 Circular Road in Patna, despite receiving an eviction notice from the Bihar government. The notice, issued on Friday, orders her to vacate the property, which has been reassigned to Nand Kishore Ram, the Bihar Minister for Animal and Fisheries Resources. The government claims that Rabri Devi has not moved to an alternative accommodation that was designated for her role as the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Council. This alternative residence, House No. Harding, was allocated to her in November 2005. Rabri Devi, however, has firmly stated that she will not comply with the eviction order, emphasizing her right to stay at the residence, which has significant political ties to her family and the RJD. The bungalow at 10 Circular Road has historically served as a political hub for the RJD, further complicating the situation.
