Congress leader Rahul Gandhi vacated his official residence in central Delhi today, the last day of the deadline following his disqualification as an MP of the lower house of the Parliament. Rahul Gandhi, and his sister and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, have visited the bungalow twice since the morning. The Lok Sabha Housing Committee, headed by BJP MP CR Patil, had sent him a letter asking him to vacate his 12 Tughlaq Lane bungalow, which he has been occupying since 2005, by April 22. Though he is required to move out according to protocol, Congress leaders have accused the Centre of political vendetta. A disqualified MP is not entitled to a government accommodation and gets a one-month period to vacate his official residence. Exiting his official residence for the last time, Rahul Gandhi said he was being ""punished"" for speaking the truth. He said he doesn't want to live in the house any more as it was given to him by the people of India but has now been "snatched away". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
