BJP Accuses Kejriwal of Lavish Living in New Bungalow, Rekindling 'Sheesh Mahal' Controversy

BJP alleges Arvind Kejriwal's new bungalow is 'Sheesh Mahal 2' and funded by private money. The BJP previously accused Kejriwal of excessive expenditure on renovations for his former residence, the 'Sheesh Mahal' allegations. The controversy has resurfaced with Kejriwal's move to a new Type-VII government bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate.

"Now, when he got a new bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate. When the pictures of it came out, we were astonished. The man who said he would live simply today lives in a luxurious manner. This is a government-allocated house, but the money invested in this house is not government funds. Last time he said that the PWD invested the money, but in this house, every penny invested is private money. His own bedroom is looking like Goa's 7-star hotel room. There are a total of five bedrooms."— Parvesh Sahib Singh, Delhi minister and BJP leader
