Even as portfolio allocation is on hold, the new ministers were given offices at Mantralaya on Tuesday. In the allocation of official residences, most senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ministers will get accommodations near Mantralaya that are considered smaller and low-profile, because the palatial Malabar Hill bungalows are occupied by the Shiv Sena-BJP ministers who were sworn in last year.
Chhagan Bhujbal (B-6), Hasan Mushrif (C-8), Dilip Walse Patil (C-1), Dhananjay Munde (C-6) will be placed opposite Mantralaya. Generally, these bungalows are given to junior ministers. Bhujbal has spent most of his ministerial tenure at Malabar Hill`s `Ramtek`, a sea-facing colonial style residence. Walse-Patil has rarely stayed away from Malabar Hill whenever he was a minister.
