The ongoing saga over the Delhi Chief Minister's residence at 6, Flagstaff Road has ignited fresh tensions between the AAP administration and the Lt Governor's office. The controversy stems from allegations by the Chief Minister's Office that the residence was forcibly vacated under the BJP's directive to allocate it to a party leader.

According to sources from the LG's office, the residence has never been officially designated as the CM's residence, raising questions about Atishi's occupancy. Despite Atishi having moved her belongings, her office insists the residence should be allotted to her, sparking a war of words between political factions.

Amid claims of illegal occupation and political maneuvering, the BJP alleges Atishi's unauthorized occupation of the bungalow. This debate underscores the absence of a designated CM residence in Delhi, where past leaders have occupied various bungalows across the city.
