'Sheeshmahal' Conflict: AAP vs BJP Regarding Media Visit to Chief Minister's Residence 

Today, outside the Delhi Chief Minister's home, dramatic events unfolded as leaders from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) arrived to "reveal the truth" concerning the BJP's "Sheeshmahal" allegations. 


In an effort to gain an advantage in the looming Delhi elections, the BJP has charged AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal with misusing taxpayer funds to lavishly renovate the bungalow located at 6, Flagstaff Road. To counter these claims, AAP announced that its representatives would take members of the media to the Civil Lines bungalow and then proceed to the Prime Minister's residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, to highlight the changes made there. 


Upon arrival at the bungalow with journalists in tow, AAP MP Sanjay Singh and Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj were halted by the police, who cited a potential disruption to public order. Mr. Singh was seen in conversation with a senior police officer, questioning the reasoning behind their obstruction. He contended that preventing them from entering violated the rights of both an MP and a cabinet minister. 


"Why aren't we being permitted inside? The BJP is spreading falsehoods regarding a golden toilet, swimming pool, and minibar, so allow us to see them and let the media witness it too," Mr. Singh was heard stating. 


Mr. Bharadwaj questioned on whose authority they were being obstructed. "The only person above me is the Lieutenant Governor. Who instructed you to stop us?" 

"The BJP's deception is now evident; they have been indicated as the Bharatiya Jhootha Party. For months, they have claimed there is a golden toilet, swimming pool, and minibar at this Chief Minister's residence. We've brought you here today. Have you seen? They have deployed water cannons and a huge police presence for just two people. Are we considered terrorists? Why this blockade? This clearly indicates the BJP is lying. We will remain here for 10 minutes; if the BJP is honest, they should open up the Chief Minister's residence for us," Mr. Singh declared. 


Subsequently, the AAP representatives made their way to the Prime Minister's residence but were met with similar restrictions. 


The official residence of the Delhi Chief Minister has remained unoccupied since Mr. Kejriwal resigned after receiving bail in a corruption case associated with the now-repealed liquor policy. The AAP leader has stated he would reassume the role only following the "people's court" judgment. 


The BJP has consistently targeted AAP with "Sheeshmahal" taunts, and a report from the CAG has provided them with additional support. The document, submitted by Girish Chandra Murmu, who retired in November, highlighted a significant increase in costs between the initial budget for renovations and the eventual expenses. 


Leading the BJP's offensive, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked, "You will be astonished to learn that while Delhi residents were battling Covid, searching for oxygen and medicines, the AAP was focused on constructing Sheesh Mahal."
