Mr Saxena defeated Azam Khan's aide, SP candidate Asim Raja, in the Rampur Sadar Assembly by-election in the results announced on December 8.
The government house in Darul Shafa area of Lucknow where senior Samajwadi Party leader and former cabinet minister Azam Khan used to stay, before his membership was cancelled, has been allotted to Akash Saxena, the newly elected BJP MLA from Rampur.
A senior official of the state property department on Friday said Mr Saxena has been allotted house number 34B in Darul Shafa.
Azam Khan used to live in this house before his membership of the Legislative Assembly was revoked after he was sentenced to three years in prison for making hate speeches, the official said.
The officer informed that it is a normal procedure of the Vidhan Sabha that the residence of the outgoing MLA of a seat is allotted to the newly elected MLA from that seat. If the new MLA wants to change his residence, then it can be considered.
