The political clash over the 6, Flagstaff Road bungalow deepens as AAP accuses BJP of pressuring officials to delay its allotment to Delhi Chief Minister Atishi. The premises were vacated by the previous chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, but remain in contention.

Vijender Gupta, Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, alleges illegal occupation of the bungalow by Atishi and demands its sealing. Despite allotment of an alternative residence on Mathura Road, Atishi has moved into the Flagstaff Road bungalow with her belongings.

AAP's Sanjay Singh contests BJP's claims, presenting documents as evidence of the bungalow's proper vacation by Kejriwal. He accuses BJP of spreading misinformation to undermine AAP, while questioning why the bungalow's keys weren't handed over to the PWD.
