₹44.78 crore was spent on 'addition/alternation' of Arvind Kejriwal's government accommodation The BJP on Tuesday claimed that around ₹45 crore was spent on the "beautification" of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence in the Civil Lines area of the city and demanded his resignation on "moral" ground.
No immediate reaction was available from the Delhi government or the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the BJP claims. "It was not renovation and a new structure has come up in the place of the old structure.
His camp office is also there. The expenditure is around ₹44 crore but what is to be noted that the old structures have been replaced with new ones," a senior PWD official said.
Documents provided by sources showed that a total of ₹44.78 crore against a sanctioned amount of ₹43.70 crore was spent on "addition/alternation" of his government accommodation on 6, Flagstaff Road in Civil Lines.
