BJP Alleges Lavish Living by Kejriwal in Lodhi Estate Bungalow; AAP Denies Claims

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal of living lavishly in a newly allotted government bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate, dubbing it 'Sheesh Mahal 2' and alleging private funds were used for expensive renovations. BJP leader Parvesh Verma criticized Kejriwal for abandoning his earlier simplicity promises and linked the issue to internal AAP dissent. The AAP has denied these claims, calling the images fake and politically motivated, and challenged BJP leaders to disclose their own residences for transparency.
