BJP Installs Signage Near CM Kejriwal's Residence Alleging Corruption

BJP has installed a signboard outside Kejriwal's residence, calling it "Sheesh Mahal-Corruption Ka Adda." The renovated bungalow is alleged to be illegally constructed. AAP claims the allegations against Kejriwal are a conspiracy to hinder his Lok Sabha campaign. Kejriwal is in judicial custody till May 7 in a money laundering case related to the excise policy.

Amid the intensifying campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls in the national capita, the Delhi BJP leaders on Saturday fixed a signage near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence calling it ''Sheesh Mahal-Corruption Ka Adda''. The signage fixed near the Delhi chief minister's renovated bungalow in Civil Lines was fixed since the ''palatial house'' was ''illegally'' constructed, said Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva.

Kejriwal arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to the now scrapped excise policy of his government is in judicial custody till May 7.

Sachdeva accompanied by other party leaders, including former mayor Jai Prakash, Delhi BJP's media department head Praveen Shankar Kapoor and media Relations head Vikram Mittal, put the iron sign board painted with the bold lettered ''Sheesh Mahal'' showing direction to the chief minister's residence.

''Delhiites who elected Arvind Kejriwal as the chief minister feel ashamed as every other day a new saga of his government's corruption comes out. The statements of the court approvers in the liquor scam clearly show that deals of the scam were done in the CM House that itself was illegally constructed. So, we have named it 'Sheesh Mahal-Corruption Ka Adda','' he said.

Gupta said that people of Delhi do not want Kejriwal to continue as the chief minister and run the government from behind bars. Meanwhile, AAP's Delhi unit secretary Reena Gupta said the entire case against Kejriwal is a ''blatant conspiracy designed to obstruct him from the Lok Sabha elections campaign''. ''Let's not forget, he is not just any chief minister, but a three-time elected immensely popular leader chosen by the people,'' she said.
