thebalanced.newsBJP Alleges Lavish Upgrades at Kejriwal's Lodhi Estate Residence; AAP Denies Claims
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Delhi minister Parvesh Verma, has accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal of abandoning his earlier promises of simplicity by moving into a lavish Type-VII government bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate, dubbing it 'Sheesh Mahal 2.' BJP alleges private funds were used for luxurious upgrades and links this to internal dissent within AAP. The AAP denies these claims, calling the images fake and politically motivated, and challenges BJP leaders to open their residences for public scrutiny. The dispute has intensified political tensions in Delhi amid recent AAP MP defections.
