Responding to the allegations against party chief Arvind Kejriwal over the expenses incurred on the renovation of his official residence when he was the chief minister of Delhi, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, on Tuesday, challenged the BJP to show luxuries in the 6 Flagstaff Road official residence of the chief minister.

Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, on Monday, citing a 2022 report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) that an expenditure of Rs 33.66 crore was spent on his “Sheesh Mahal” by Kejriwal as chief minister, said the actual cost was much higher.

Addressing a press conference, Sanjay Singh said, “The people of Delhi and the entire nation deserve to know the truth. Tomorrow at 11 am, we invite the media to inspect the CM’s residence along with us and uncover the reality. If the BJP claims are true, let them show the minibar, the swimming pool, and the golden toilet to the world.”

He accused the BJP of launching a campaign against the AAP with the sole aim to insult, defame, and imprison its leaders.

He said, “The chief minister’s residence, which is designated for Delhi’s chief minister, has been canceled twice in three months. The entire BJP, from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his party members are running a propaganda campaign about it. They claim there’s a minibar in the residence, a golden toilet, and even a swimming pool inside. BJP’s leaders are spreading lies, and I want the entire nation and Delhi to know the truth.”

“Show us where the swimming pool is, show us the minibar, show us the golden toilet. The people of Delhi and the country deserve to know the truth. I challenge you tomorrow at 11 am, let’s visit the Chief Minister’s residence with the media and uncover the reality,” the AAP MP added.
