First look: Inside Kejriwal's 'sheesh mahal'

December 10, 2024

With assembly round the cornier, the controversy over the Delhi Chief Minister's bungalow that used to be occupied by Arvind Kejriwal, has intensified. 

The BJP has referred to the 6 Flag Staff Road bungalow as "sheesh mahal" -- or palace of mirrors, which denotes luxury.

"We have been telling you the truth about the glass palace of debauchery of the person who calls himself a common man @ArvindKejriwal, today we will show it to you too! He has built a 7-Star Resort for himself by embezzling public money!" Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva said in an online post.

Sachdeva shared a video of inside Kejriwal's former bungalow which has a jacuzzi, sauna, a very fancy looking bathroom, a gym etc.

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said that a government accommodation will soon be allotted to AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, which he is entitled to as the chief of a national party. 

Responding to a question at a press conference, Khattar said that as the president of a national party, Kejriwal is entitled to a Type VII bungalow. However, all Type VII bungalows are currently occupied, he added. "At present, we only have Type V and VI bungalows available, but there is currently no availability of Type VII bungalows. Kejriwal will be allotted a Type VII bungalow as soon as it is available," Khattar said.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been demanding a central government accommodation for Kejriwal, asserting that he is entitled to it as the convenor of a national party.
