Amba Prasad alleges political targeting after Ranchi residence eviction

Amba Prasad, a Congress National Secretary and former MLA, has accused the Jharkhand state government and administration of bias following the eviction of her government residence in Ranchi. The action, carried out by police and a magistrate, took place at her allotted housing in the HEC Sector-3 area.

District administration officials stated that the residence, previously allocated to Prasad during her tenure as an MLA, had been reallocated to an official last year. They maintained that multiple notices to vacate were issued, including a final notice sent via WhatsApp, but received no response. The administration noted the property is no longer part of the MLA housing pool.

Prasad has rejected these claims, describing the enforcement as discriminatory, inhumane, and a political conspiracy. She alleged that she received no prior notification and criticized the manner in which police entered and sealed the premises. In protest, she set up a tent outside the residence to celebrate Diwali, stating she would not be intimidated or forced to retreat from her political path.
