Op IndiaBJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla on Monday, launched a sharp attack on the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal over ‘Sheesh Mahal’ expenses saying, that during COVID when people in Delhi waited for oxygen and food, Kejriwal was busy building his palace. Now the CAG report has also come out.” Poonawala said that under the leadership of Atishi and Kejriwal, Delhi would face a revenue deficit for the first time in 31 years and opening the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ to the public would help generate income for the city. “With Atishi ji and Kejriwal in power, the Delhi government is going to have a revenue deficit for the first time in 31 years, so if ‘Sheesh Mahal’ is open for public viewing, Delhi will also get some income from this,” he said. The ‘Sheesh Mahal’ controversy centres around allegations that Arvind Kejriwal spent crores of rupees renovating his official residence during the Covid-19 pandemic, a period when many public development projects were stalled.
