Breaking: Fresh “Sheesh Mahal” row resurfaces against Arvind Kejriwal over Lodhi Estate residence

The passage describes a heated political controversy between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over allegations related to Delhi’s former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his official residence. BJP leader Parvesh Verma has released photographs of Kejriwal’s new residence at 95 Lodhi Estate, claiming it has been lavishly renovated with expensive materials and public money, reviving the “Sheesh Mahal” narrative. He alleges that Kejriwal continues to live a luxurious lifestyle despite earlier promises of simplicity and transparency. In response, AAP strongly denies the allegations, calling the images fake and politically motivated. The party, including leader Atishi, has challenged BJP and officials such as Delhi LG and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to also open their residences for public scrutiny, arguing that citizens should decide who truly lives in luxury. AAP claims the photos are fabricated and part of a political attack, while BJP continues to question funding sources, expenditure, and alleged misuse of government resources. The dispute has reignited the long-standing “Sheesh Mahal” controversy, with both parties trading sharp accusations and counterclaims, turning it into a major political flashpoint in Delhi.
