Here's the full letter on eviction row:
The bungalow privilege was revoked after Rahul Gandhi was convicted of criminal defamation by a court in Gujarat. The court found against Gandhi over his 'all thieves have Modi surname' comment at an election rally in 2019 in Karnataka.
He was given a two-year sentence but the court suspended that and gave him bail on request from his legal team - so the former MP could appeal.
The conviction triggered a massive row between the opposition and the government; on Monday as many as 17 parties, including the Trinamool Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (which do not usually turn up for Congress-led meetings) united to protest Gandhi's disqualification.
