Overview
- The Directorate of Estates assigned Kejriwal a Type‑VII bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate on Monday, nearly a year after he vacated the chief minister’s residence.
- The Delhi High Court had criticised delays and demanded records on how residences were being prioritised during AAP’s petition for accommodation.
- On September 25, the Centre told the court it would allot a residence within ten days after 35 Lodhi Estate was given to Union minister Pankaj Chaudhary.
- Kejriwal and his wife visited the property for inspection, with a move expected after routine renovations and modifications.
- Eligibility stems from a 2014 policy granting accommodation to presidents or convenors of recognised national parties, while probes into renovations at 6 Flagstaff Road continue.
