Kejriwal Awaits Government Accommodation: AAP's Push for Entitlement

Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced that AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal will be allotted a government bungalow. As head of a national party, Kejriwal is entitled to a Type VII accommodation. Currently, none are available, though efforts are being made to fulfill this entitlement.

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced on Tuesday that AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal is set to receive a government bungalow, a benefit affording him as the chief of a national party.

The minister clarified during a press conference that, according to protocol, Kejriwal is entitled to a Type VII bungalow. Currently, however, these accommodations are fully occupied, leaving only Type V and VI bungalows available.

The Aam Aadmi Party has actively pursued housing allocations for Kejriwal, sending a formal request to the Union Housing Ministry to emphasize his entitlement. In the interim, Kejriwal has temporarily taken residence at 5 Ferozeshah Road, the official house of AAP MP Ashok Mittal.
