12, Tughlaklane is a public-owned house on Tughlaklane, New Delhi. Currently, it serves as the residence of Sonia Gandhi, who has lived there since 1989,[1] and her son Rahul Gandhi, who lived at 12, Tughlak Lane until April 2023.[2] [3]
The house was the residence of India's second prime minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri (1964–1966) who succeeded Jawaharlal Nehru in the 1960s and where his body lay in state on 11 January 1966.[4] Presently, a biographical museum, Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial is situated at 1, Motilal Nehru Place, adjacent to the complex.[5] [6]
Third prime minister Indira Gandhi lived at 3, Safdarjung Road so 10, Janpath was occupied by her family. When Rajiv Gandhi assumed the Prime Minister's Office, he was allotted to live at 10, Janpath as official residence but he lived at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg while he was prime minister so until then 10, Janpath was vacant. After his assassination, his widow Sonia Gandhi occupied 10, Janpath who later served as the president of Indian National Congress and the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha. Since April 2023, it also remains the residence of his son Rahul Gandhi, who is the current Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and former President of Indian National Congress.[7] [8]
12, Tughlaklane is spread over 15,181 square meters in Delhi.[9]
The national headquarters of Indian National Congress (INC) is right behind it on 24, Akbar Road.[10]
