New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal of allegedly getting a “2-acre, 7-star” mansion built for him in Chandigarh, which operates as the capital of Punjab.
The party has claimed that the bungalow is being constructed for Kejriwal from Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann’s “quota”.
The BJP shared a satellite image of what it calls a “luxurious 7-star, two-acre government bungalow” being readied in Chandigarh’s Sector 2, on X.
“Big Breaking – The man who pretended to be the common man, Kejriwal, has had another grand Sheesh Mahal built,” BJP’s Delhi unit posted on its X handle.
Calling Kejriwal Punjab’s “Super CM”, the BJP said that the AAP chief has an “even more splendid Sheesh Mahalâ
after vacating his Delhi bungalow.
âIn Chandigarh’s Sector 2, a luxurious 7-star government mansion of 2 acres on the CM quota has been allotted to Arvind Kejriwal ji,â it was mentioned in the post.
The partyâs Punjab unit called the alleged bungalow Kejriwal’s ânew royal palaceâ. They alleged that the state government was working as âKejriwalâs personal service team, wasting taxpayersâ money while Punjab suffers from drugs, unemployment, and corruption.â
The AAP chief allegedly took off âfrom this mansion in a Punjab government helicopter, switched to the stateâs private jet in Ambala, and flew to Gujarat â all for his partyâs political campaign, not Punjabâs welfare,â the BJP’s Punjab state unit claimed.
The BJP received support from AAPâs Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, who claimed that the âentire Punjab government is engaged in serving one man.â She also claimed that the AAP is attempting to portray âthe bungalow in Sector 2â¦as a camp office.â
âIf this is a camp office, then in the last 4 years, how many people came here to meet the CM? How many times did the CM sit in this office?â Maliwal asked in an X post.
She also wanted to know how Kejriwal could be residing in the office. âThe truth is that Punjab’s Super CM resides in this house,â Maliwal added.
The AAP has denied these allegations though and said that a detailed statement would be issued by the party in Delhi.
