The political battle intensifies as the BJP targets AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal with a video of his previous residence, branding it a 'Sheeshmahal.' The BJP alleges the lavish property symbolizes corruption, suggesting that crores were spent on lavish fittings and amenities.
In defense, AAP argues the BJP's move is a mere 'smear campaign' designed to divert attention from the deteriorating law-and-order situation in Delhi, for which it blames the BJP-led Union government. AAP highlights Kejriwal's focus on improving safety in the capital.
Currently, Kejriwal resides at a new official address, while the Flagstaff Road bungalow's lavish past remains a contentious political issue. The BJP and AAP continue to trade barbs as the Delhi Assembly polls approach, with both parties striving to capture public attention.
