Leaked CAG report fuels BJP's 'sheeshmahal' attack against AAP ahead of Delhi polls
India TodayThe leaked Comptroller and Auditor General report detailing exorbitant expenditures on the renovation of the Delhi Chief Minister's official residence has ignited a heated political debate ahead of the Delhi elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a recent rally, compared his government's priorities with Kejriwal's alleged extravagance, stating, "I could have built a sheeshmahal, but my dream is to provide permanent homes to my countrymen." AAP, meanwhile, has dismissed the BJP's accusations as selective outrage, pointing to other financial irregularities mentioned in the same report, including instances involving BJP-ruled states. Hours after PM Modi's seeshmahal jibe, Kejriwal on Friday said that "one who wears a Rs 10 lakh suit, talking about sheeshmahal doesn't suit his mouth".
