Center was allotted Kejriwal Type-VII bungalow in Lodhi area after being violated by Delhi HC: AAP

After the Center allotted Aam Aadmi Party national in-charge Arvind Kejriwal a Type VII bungalow in the capital, the party confirmed that the former Delhi chief minister would stay at 95, Lodhi Estate, which was allotted to him after “the Delhi High Court hit the Center on the issue”.

“Kejriwal was allotted an official bungalow by the Center after he was reprimanded by the Delhi High Court. He was entitled to a bungalow since he is the convener of a national party,” AAP national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda told PTI Videos.

Last month, the Delhi High Court pulled up the Center for delaying its decision to allot residential accommodation to Kejriwal in the national capital.

Kejriwal lived in an accommodation at 6, Flag Staff Road in Civil Lines while he was the chief minister.

The BJP had made it a major election issue in Delhi, calling the house “Sheesh Mahal” and promising that its chief minister would not stay there.

After resigning as chief minister, Kejriwal moved to a government bungalow allotted to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal.

In 2022, the Delhi government’s vigilance department launched an investigation, under Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, into allegations of “irregularities and cost escalation” in the renovation of the Civil Lines bungalow by the PWD.

Currently, the CBI is investigating the complaint of Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, which was filed with Saxena in December 2024.
