The three ex-chief ministers who have been reallotted the same house include Kailash Joshi, Uma Bharti and Babu Lal Gaur. Digvijay is the lone exception who has still not be reallotted the house.

The Madhya Pradesh government, in order to escape contempt of court, cancelled the allotment of all the four houses. Next day, the government asked all the four to apply afresh for the houses with a reasonable ground.

Digvijay did not apply afresh and has not got the house while the three remaining ex-chief ministers applied afresh giving their own reason for the need of a government bungalow.
