Mann Rejects BJP ‘Sheesh Mahal’ Charge, Says Chandigarh House Is CM Camp Office

No allotment order has been produced, with AAP demanding documentary proof.

Overview

  • The Delhi BJP alleged Arvind Kejriwal was allotted a two-acre, '7-star' government bungalow in Chandigarh’s Sector 2 under the Punjab CM’s quota, sharing satellite images to back the claim.
  • AAP called the allegation false, said the images show the Punjab chief minister’s camp office, and asked the BJP to present an official allotment letter.
  • Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann stated that Kothi No. 50 in Sector 2 functions as his camp office and guest house, challenged critics to show any order allotting it to Kejriwal, and noted Chandigarh is a Union Territory under the Centre.
  • AAP MP Swati Maliwal amplified the BJP’s charge, further alleging Kejriwal used Punjab government aircraft and a private jet for party travel; these claims have not been independently verified.
  • Indian Express reporting cited sources saying bungalow No. 50 was allotted to AAP MP Raghav Chadha in 2022 and was later cleaned for Kejriwal’s use, while the BJP says it will seek an inquiry and no formal probe or public allotment order has surfaced.
