The ongoing political tussle in Delhi has taken a new twist, with the Delhi Chief Minister's residence at 6, Flagstaff Road, Civil Lines, being at the center of the storm. According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office, the residence was forcibly vacated by orders aligned with the BJP's interests.

The controversy stems from alleged pressure by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to delegate the premises to a significant BJP leader, a claim that has stirred allegations from the Aam Aadmi Party. The belongings of current CM Atishi were reportedly cleared from the property, suggesting a recalibration of political power.

Notably, there has been no official comment from either the Lieutenant Governor's office or the BJP concerning these allegations. Meanwhile, AAP representatives, including MP Sanjay Singh, have accused officials of hindering the proper allocation of the bungalow to CM Atishi.
