  • The Congress president’s home is spread over 15,181 square metres, while the Prime Minister’s official abode sprawls around 14,101 square metres.

Although, Rashtrapati Bhavan still remains the biggest residence, spread over 320 acres is one of the largest properties for a head of state anywhere in the world. Vice-President’s residence at 6 Maulana Azad Road covers an area of 26,333.49 sq m.

But if we were to combine all the spaces acquired by Gandhis, the number will pretty much dwarf most residences in Delhi.
