’Sheesh Mahal’ to ‘Rajmahal’: How AAP and BJP are trading blows as Delhi’s electoral battle heats up

Live Mint  

Delhi Election 2025: The Aam Aadmi Party accused that prime minister's residence, which it dubs as ‘Rajmahal’, was built at a cost of ₹2,700 crore. The ‘Rajmahal’ term is AAP's counter to the 'Sheesh Mahal' jibe which the Bharatiya Janata Party and Modi has been using against Arvind Kejriwal for alleged lavish spending on the official bungalow where he lived when he was chief minister before quitting last year. ‘Stopped from entering Sheesh Mahal’ In January 8, AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bhardawaj said they were stopped from entering the Delhi chief minister's official residence, which they had invited the media to tour with them in a bid to counter the BJP's "Sheesh Mahal" jibes. In fact, Prime Minister Modi, too, during a BJP rally in Rohini last week, hit out at the AAP, saying their allegations that the Centre did not let the Delhi government work was "exposed by the "Sheesh Mahal".
