In an escalating political standoff, AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bhardawaj faced a police roadblock as they attempted to enter the Delhi Chief Minister's official residence. The leaders had planned a media tour of the premises to refute BJP's 'Sheesh Mahal' claims, which allege opulent upgrades under Arvind Kejriwal's leadership.
BJP's allegations have gained traction as part of a broader election strategy, with the party labeling the home as a 'Sheesh Mahal'. In response, Singh and Bhardawaj questioned the legality of the barricade, indicating that no permission should be required for ministers to inspect government properties.
The situation underscores a heated exchange over perceived misuse of funds during renovations, further fueled by a counter-accusation from AAP regarding the prime minister's residence, dubbed 'Raj Mahal', suggesting similar extravagance.
