Naidu to shift in Naqvi’s bungalow at Safdarjung Road
Even as speculations about the next destination of Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi continue with each passing day, the out-going Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu will be shifting to the ministerial bungalow of former Minority Affairs Minister.
Naidu has decided to stay put in Delhi after retirement next month and shift to 5, Safdarjung Road bungalow currently occupied by Naqvi. Incidentally, Naqvi had partially vacated the bungalow and shifted to his Mayur Vihar flat in East Delhi. A ministerial Type-VIII bungalow is allotted to former Presidents and Vice Presidents and former PM for life in Delhi or a place of their choice in India by the government.
Though there was intense speculation that Naqvi may be nominated for the post of VP, it did not happen for a variety of reasons. It is said that Naqvi may be given a gubernatorial assignment. The governors of several states are retiring within the next two months. Jagdeep Dhankhar, West Bengal Governor who has been made a Vice Presidential candidate is set to quit his current assignment soon.
