Bhagwant Mann Denies BJP Claim of 'Sheesh Mahal 2.0' for Kejriwal in Chandigarh

Mann says the Sector 2 house is his camp office and guest house and challenges the BJP to show an allotment letter naming Kejriwal.

Overview

  • Delhi BJP alleged Arvind Kejriwal was allotted a '7‑star', two‑acre government bungalow in Chandigarh’s Sector 2 under the Punjab chief minister’s quota and circulated satellite images to support the claim.
  • AAP rejected the allegation as fake, and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stated House No. 50 is the CM’s camp office/guest house and that his official residence is House No. 45.
  • Reporting identified the property as Bungalow No. 50, which was allotted in 2022 to AAP MP Raghav Chadha and later cleaned and 'touched up' for Kejriwal’s visits, with officials’ meetings also held there.
  • Rebel AAP MP Swati Maliwal amplified the row, alleging Kejriwal used Punjab government aircraft for travel and claiming AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain occupy government houses in Sector 39.
  • No public allotment document has been produced and no formal inquiry specific to the Chandigarh claim has been announced, though the BJP says it will seek one and earlier probes into Kejriwal’s Delhi residence remain on record.
