Mumbai: Discontent among ministers over the allocation of bungalows and offices

After the allocation of cabinet portfolios of the Mahayuti government, the offices and bungalows in the ministry were allotted within two days without much delay. Some ministers are upset because offices and bungalows have been allotted without trust. Many ministers are buying offices and bungalows by looking at the direction according to Vastu Shastra. But when the direct orders for allotment came, the ministers got confused. As there are not enough offices available in the Mantralaya to accommodate all the ministers, the offices of three state ministers have been set up in Vidhan Bhawan.

Cabinet expansion and devolution of accounts were delayed by the Mahayuti government. Compared to this, the minister's offices and bungalows were allotted immediately. The General Administration Department issued such orders. But as soon as this allotment was done, some ministers expressed displeasure while others demanded to change the bungalows. Most of the old ministers' halls and bungalows were retained. After the displeasure of the Minister, there is a possibility that some people's bungalows or offices will be changed.

Allotment of bungalows to ministers

In the allotment of bungalows along with offices, Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil has been given former Royalstone, Pankaja Munde has been given Ramtek, Shambhuraj Desai has been given Meghdoot and Ganesh Naik has been given Desai's Pawangarh bungalow in front of Mantralaya. Dhananjay Munde's Satpura, Chandrakant Patil's Sinhagad bungalow were retained. First there was displeasure among some leaders over the ministerial position, then over the distribution of accounts. Now, even over the allotment of bungalows, there has been a quarrel among the ministers.
