NEW DELHI: With former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and ex-finance minister Arun Jaitley vacating their official bungalows on their own, several senior leaders who are either no longer in government or did not win the election face the immediate prospect of giving up their existing accommodations in Lutyens’ zone.

Sources said the housing ministry has made allotment of bungalows to over two dozen central ministers including a few who may shift to bigger accommodations after their elevation in the Modi 2.0 government. But all these allotments are subject to “vacation”, which means the new ministers can shift when the sitting occupants move out.

TOI has learnt that animal husbandry and fisheries minister Giriraj Singh would move to 6, Ashok Road which was allotted to former agriculture minister Radhamohan Singh. Similarly, Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has been allotted 12, Akbar Road where former minister Suresh Prabhu lives. However, both the former ministers are entitled to bigger accommodation. Another former Cabinet minister who would have to shift out is Chaudhary Birender Singh.
