Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Parvesh Verma attacked the Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and called the AAP the ‘Alishaan Aadmi Party’. on Saturday. He also claimed that Arvind Kejriwal lives at 'Sheesh Mahal 2'.
The Deputy CM also called Kejriwal ‘Delhi’s Rahman Dakait’ and questioned the former Delhi Chief Minister as to how much money has been invested in the Lodhi Road bungalow or the new Sheesh Mahal.
The minister said that Kejriwal have become habituated to living lavishly.
He showed pictures of the Type VII bungalow allotted by the Centre to Kejriwal as chief of AAP, which is a national party. The minister said that the Central PWD does not spend so much money on Bungalows and alleged that private money was spent to create amnesties in it. “Delhi's Rahman Dakait, just as a sequel to the movie 'Dhurandhar' came out, similarly, we are going to reveal 'Sheesh Mahal 2' today,” he said.
Verma also said that the original Sheesh Mahal in the city was built when the city was battling the covid wave.
"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," he said.
The AAP has denied the allegations and called the images fake.
AAP leader Atishi said on X, "All the pictures issued by Pravesh Verma are fake. They are not pictures of Mr Kejriwal's house. To find out whose house is how luxurious, Ms Rekha Gupta and Mr LG should open up their own homes, and Mr Kejriwal will open up his house. The public will decide for itself."
Verma had alleged that seven of its Rajya Sabha members quit the party on Friday due to corruption in their party.
