Referring to the bungalow at 6, Flagstaff Road, as “Shesh Mahal”, BJP leaders claimed the extravagantly expensive items found there were not provided by the Public Works Department (PWD) that owns the property.
Several BJP MPs, the party’s Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva, and Leader of Opposition Vijendra Gupta staged the protest near Mr. Kejriwal’s present residence at Firoz Shah Road. Former Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot who joined the BJP after quitting the AAP earlier this week also joined the protest.
Mr. Kejriwal stepped down as Delhi Chief Minister and vacated the 6, Flagstaff Road bungalow in October this year. The BJP has alleged irregularities in the reconstruction of the bungalow and claimed that exorbitantly expensive household goods were used there.
