Delhi minister and BJP leader Parvesh Sahib Singh has hit out at former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenorArvind Kejriwal, calling his new type-VII government bungalow a "Sheesh Mahal part two." Addressing a press conference, Parvesh Sahib Singh accused Kejriwal of betraying the people of Delhi by opting for luxuries in his bungalow and dropped alleged pictures of the his new residence. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has strongly denied the charges, calling the pictures "fake".

"One who betrayed people of Delhi, who came to power in the name of Anna Hazare, showing pictures of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh. One who said I will not take residence and car from the government is Delhi's Rahman Dakait. We will today show you Sheesh Mahal part two," Parvesh Sahib Singh alleged.

"He made sheesh mahal that too at the time when Delhi's public was suffering from COVID. An extension was also being created for Rs 70 crore. After losing elections, he went to Punjab. Arvind Kejriwal, Satyendra Jain, Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia took possession of government residences near Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann's residence. Bhagwant Mann is tense with these people," he added.

He recalled Kejriwal's promise of leading a life of a common man without using government facilities, and said, "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."

Hitting back strongly, AAP denied the pictures released by BJP. In a post on X, AAP leader Sanjay Singh challenged Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and Parvesh Sahib Singh to open their houses to the public. "Arvind Kejriwal ji will open his house, and the public will get to know whose house is how luxurious," he remarked.

"All the pictures released by Pravesh Verma are fake. They are not pictures of Kejriwal ji's house. To find out whose house is how luxurious, Rekha Gupta ji and LG sahib should open their own houses, and Kejriwal ji will open his house. The public will decide for itself," AAP leader Atishi said on X.

This comes after former Delhi CM shifted to a new TypeVII government bungalow at 95, Lodhi Estate in the national capital.

The "Sheesh Mahal" allegations first surfaced last year after the BJP accused him of excessive expenditure on renovations and luxury additions to the 6 Flagstaff Bungalow. The BJP had also filed a complaint with the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).
