Accusing former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal of misusing public funds to construct his official bungalow in Civil Lines, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Thursday led a protest at the AAP convener’s new residence on Ferozeshah Road, demanding a probe in the matter.
“From day one, we have been saying that this ‘Sheesh Mahal’ bungalow is the result of embezzlement of crores of rupees from the public’s hard-earned money and is a symbol of corruption. We have never heard of something as extravagant as a golden toilet seat before,” Sachdeva alleged a day after the party shared purported visuals of such sanitary ware.
On its part, the AAP said the BJP’s “theatrics and drama stem from their fear of losing elections in Delhi”. “Their true agenda is to dismantle the free electricity scheme… The BJP has adopted several tactics to malign the image of the staunchly honest Arvind Kejriwal…. even fabricated cases against him but to date, not a single rupee of wrongdoing has been uncovered against AAP or any of its leaders,” the party stated.
