NEW DELHI: Former vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar has moved out of his official residence and shifted to a private farmhouse in south Delhi’s Chhatarpur, six weeks after resigning from his post, news agency PTI reported.
The farmhouse, located in the Gadaipur area of Chhatarpur, belongs to INLD leader Abhay Chautala.
Dhankhar will stay there as a temporary arrangement until he is allotted a Type-VIII government residence, which he is entitled to as a former vice-president, an official was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.
Dhankhar resigned on July 21, the first day of the Monsoon session, citing health reasons. Since then, he has remained away from public view. He had been staying at the vice-president’s Enclave near Parliament House until now.
As the former vice-president, Dhankhar is entitled for a pension of nearly Rs 2 lakh per month, a Type-8 bungalow, one personal secretary, one additional personal secretary, one personal assistant, one physician, one nursing officer and four personal attendants.
The election to choose the next vice-president will be held on September 9. NDA’s candidate, Maharashtra governor C P Radhakrishnan , is contesting against the opposition nominee, former Supreme Court judge B Sudershan Reddy.
Dhankhar’s term as vice-president was originally due to end on August 10, 2027.
