Sheeshmahal vs Basti: Amit Shah claims CM’s bathroom costlier than slum, Kejriwal vows to expose BJP’s ‘dirty intention’
Live MintDelhi elections 2025: An AAP vs BJP ensued on Saturday after AAP National convenor and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that BJP would project Kalkaji candidate Ramesh Bidhuri as their CM face for Delhi. However, BJP senior leader Amit Shah while addressing ‘Jhuggi Basti Pradhan Sammelan’ at Delhi’s JLN stadium, slammed the AAP national convenor, "Can Kejriwal decide the BJP’s chief ministerial face? Arvind Kejriwal countered this claim on microblogging site X stating that he would conduct a press conference at a Delhi slum tomorrow, 12 January, to ‘expose dirty intentions of BJP’. During an outreach program ahead of the Delhi Elections 2025, Amit Shah launched a tirade at Arvind Kejriwal for ‘betraying’ the slum dwellers and forcing them to live in pathetic conditions in slums. Amit Shah further traded barbs at Kejriwal that the toilet in CM’s official residence, which the BJP call “Sheeshmahal" over its “expensive" renovation work done during her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal’s tenure, is more expensive than the slums in Delhi.
