NEW DELHI: In a fresh faceoff between Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena and chief minister, Atishi‘s office has claimed that she has been evicted from her official residence on the orders of LG.
In another round of Delhi LG vs CM, the chief minister office has claimed that Delhi LG got all the belongings of chief minister Atishi removed from the chief minister’s residence, ‘6, Flag Staff Road’ located in the Civil Lines area of Delhi, news agency ANI said.
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva said Arvind Kejriwal‘s ‘Sheesh Mahal’ was sealed and claimed that a lot of secrets were hidden in the bungalow.
“Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘Sheesh Mahal’ has finally been sealed… What secrets are hidden in that bungalow that without handing over the keys to the concerned department, you were trying to enter the bungalow again? You created a good drama by taking your belongings in two small trucks. Everyone knows that the bungalow is still in your possession. The way you tried to hand over the bungalow to Atishi was unconstitutional. Atishi has already been allotted a bungalow then how can she take your bungalow? A lot of secrets are hidden in that bungalow,” said Sachdeva.
Delhi assembly leader of opposition Vijender Gupta said, “Finally, Kejriwal’s PwD employees had to surrender and accept our demands. Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘sheesh mahal’ has been sealed… The whole fiasco needs to be investigated. The current CM was illegally moved to the bungalow. What is the conspiracy behind this? Why wasn’t the bungalow handed over to PwD by following protocols… What is Arvind Kejriwal trying to hide in the Sheesh Mahal?”
Former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal vacated the official CM last week after resigning from top post and moved to 5, Ferozeshah Road near Mandi House, which is allotted to AAP MP Ashok Mittal.
However, the Public Works Department (PWD) later sent a letter to Kejriwal asking him to hand over the keys of the chief minister’s residence.
The department said that some vigilance cases related to construction at the bungalow were underway and hence it was “necessary” for it to inspect the house and take a detailed stock of inventories before allotting the house to someone else.
