Controversy Unveiled: The 'Phansi-Ghar' Debate in Delhi Assembly

Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has called for an inquiry into the AAP's claims about the existence of 'Phansi-Ghar' on the Delhi Assembly premises, alleging misuse of funds in its renovation. The building, labeled a 'tiffin room' by Speaker Vijender Gupta, is at the center of a political controversy.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has sparked a controversy by demanding an inquiry into the AAP's assertions regarding the 'Phansi-Ghar' on the Delhi Assembly premises. She insists that all funds used in its renovation should be recouped.

The Assembly Speaker, Vijender Gupta, refuted these claims, labeling the structure as a 'tiffin room' and not a colonial-era execution site, contradicting the narrative promoted during its inauguration by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in 2022.

During a heated Assembly session, CM Gupta accused Kejriwal of fabricating the 'Phansi-Ghar' story, asserting that Rs 1 crore spent on its decoration was wasted. She urged that the claims be addressed before the All-India Speaker's Conference in Delhi.
