Yogi Adityanath moves in after CM's bungalow gets makeover

March 29, 2017 19:49

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today moved into his official residence at Lucknow's 5 Kalidas Marg, which the Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav occupied till earlier this month and in which Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati lived some years ago.

The bungalow has been stripped bare of all the furniture it housed previously - much of it belonged to Yadav, who took his things along with him when he moved out. All walls have been repainted white or off-white and doors polished afresh.

Yogi Adityanath, a saffron-robed monk, will use only a wooden cot and plain wooden chairs.

A nameplate bearing Yogi Adityanath's name - it reads Aditya Nath Yogi, Chief Minister - was installed at the bungalow on the day he took oath as CM.
