Overview

  • The Union government has assigned 95 Lodhi Estate, a Type‑VII bungalow, to AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
  • Delhi High Court hearings pressed the Centre over delays and opacity in housing allotments, calling the process a “free‑for‑all” and seeking records.
  • The Directorate of Estates’ 2014 policy makes national party presidents or convenors eligible for a government residence, though it does not specify the bungalow type.
  • The Centre had told the court on September 25 it would allot a residence within ten days, and the new assignment fulfills that commitment.
  • The previous occupant of 95 Lodhi Estate was BJP leader and former IPS officer Iqbal Singh Lalpura, and the case gained traction after 35 Lodhi Estate went to a Union minister instead of Kejriwal.
