New Delhi, January 8
The Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday said that Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj will visit the chief minister’s residence with the media, which the BJP claims was turned into a “Sheesh Mahal” during Arvind Kejriwal’s tenure. . Singh and Bhardwaj told a press conference that they would also take journalists to the Prime Minister’s residence, which AAP has called the “Raj Mahal” and claimed it was built at a cost of Rs 2,700 crore. .
The “Raj Mahal” talk is part of AAP’s counter-charge that the prime minister leads a lavish lifestyle. “As promised, we will go to the Chief Minister’s official residence at 6, Flagstaff Road at 11 am and try to find the gold commode, swimming pool and mini bar that the BJP claims,” Bhardwaj said.
It should be noted that both these properties are government residences, he said. These were built with taxpayers’ money. If there are allegations of misappropriation of funds, both should be investigated. It may be mentioned that the controversy over the alleged irregularities in the renovation of the 6, Flagstaff Road, bungalow and the expensive fittings and household items it contained. The BJP has centered a major part of its assembly election campaign around these allegations and has referred to the Chief Minister’s bungalow as the “Sheesh Mahal”.
Delhi BJP chief Virender Sachdeva has claimed that after Kejriwal vacated the bungalow, valuables including a “golden commode” were missing. On Tuesday, AAP challenged the BJP to open the Prime Minister’s residence for media visits to reveal the reality and also offered to take journalists on a tour of the Chief Minister’s residence.
