AAP, BJP exchange barbs as row over CM house escalates
The HinduNew Delhi The Delhi BJP on Wednesday stepped up its attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by organisaing a protest outside his official residence over “renovations worth ₹45 crore”. ‘Roof collapsed’ The Aam Aadmi Party shot back saying that the roof of “80-year-old house had collapsed thrice” and had been “reconstructed at a cost of ₹30 crore” based on the PWD’s recommendations. Delhi’s L-G has spent ₹15 crore on renovating his residence in the past few months.” Senior BJP leader Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said AAP leaders were indulging in immature arguments to save their national convener. Later in the day, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said the renovation work involved a “big scam that was executed through a legal loophole, which was misused by former PWD Minister Satyendar Jain and the PWD’s engineer dealing with the CM’s bungalow”.
