A day after the Union government cracked the whip by disconnecting power and water supplies to the official accommodation of former Union minister Ajit Singh, the Rashtriya Lok Dal leader on Sunday said he will vacate the accommodation by 25th of this month.
"I have lived here for 36 years. My father (late Chaudhary Charan Singh) moved here in 1978 and thereafter there are so many things I have to sort out before moving. 11th August, I got the notice and I move out on 24-25 September. I do not think its unreasonable," he said.

"I found the house and we have signed the lease also. So, when they came on 9th, I informed them that I have signed the lease. But now its 'Pitru Paksh'. So as soon as its over in about two weeks or so, I will go," the former civil aviation minister said.
