The house, which is being furnished, is located in posh Green Avenue in the city, a statement issued by the MP's office said.

Amarinder had defeated senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley in the just-concluded Parliamentary polls.

The statement said Amarinder will soon set up his regular office at 4 Court Road in the city which will be manned by his permanent staff.

The MP had set up his election office during the Lok Sabha polls in the same house.

Yesterday, Amarinder had tendered his resignation as Patiala MLA to Assembly Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal after he was elected as an MP.
