Nana Patole finally moves out of official residence
Hindustan TimesStrap: The state has waived off arrears of rent – nearly ₹ 2.5 lakh - due from the time Patole ceased to be the speaker of the Legislative Assembly HT Image Mumbai: State Congress chief Nana Patole vacated the ministerial bungalow, opposite Mantralaya a fortnight ago, where he overstayed since February 2021. In his plea to the government to retain A-9 bungalow as the Congress office, Patole had said that the party office -- Gandhi Bhavan -- was demolished for the Metro 3 project with space for the Maharastra Pradesh Congress Committee given in Tanna House, Colaba, which was inconvenient for lack of office and parking space. Speaking to the HT, Dilip Deshmukh, deputy secretary of the general administration department said, “Nana Patole was refused permission on many occasions, but the government decided to waive off the rent of nearly ₹ 2.5 lakhs. The bungalow was allotted to health minister Tanaji Sawant last week and is being refurbished.” Speaking about the move, Congress’s chief spokesperson, Atul Londhe, said, “CM Eknath Shinde was quite keen to allow Nana Patole to use the A-9 bungalow as Congress office, but the deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis stopped it.”
