New Delhi, 25 April (H.S.): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a sharp attack on Delhi's former Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal over his new bungalow. The BJP remarked that given the opulence of Arvind Kejriwal's lifestyle, his party should be renamed the Opulent Man Party.

At a press conference held at BJP headquarters on Saturday, Delhi Minister and New Delhi MLA Parvesh Verma stated: Relying on the Anna Movement, invoking photos of Mahatma Gandhi, martyr Bhagat Singh, and Baba Saheb Ambedkar, donning the common man's cap, and swearing on a Rs 1 stamp paper affidavit that he would not take a government house, bungalow, or car—he even took false oaths on his children.

Releasing photos of Kejriwal's new residence, he added: Kejriwal first built the 'Sheesh Mahal' in Delhi—we all know that. It was constructed during the COVID wave in Delhi, when people were clamoring for medicines, yet not a single day of work on the Sheesh Mahal stopped.

He continued: After Delhi's defeat, his move to Punjab compounded Bhagwant Mann's troubles, as Kejriwal occupied one of the large government houses around Mann, former Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain took another, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh seized a third, and Manish Sisodia claimed one more.

Parvesh Verma remarked: He built a second Sheesh Mahal. When pictures of this bungalow surfaced, the man who claimed he would live simply resides in such grandeur. All those photos exist, showing how Kejriwal has fitted out his new home—they're all here.

He asserted: In independent India's history, Arvind Kejriwal is the first person whose luxuries know no bounds. If anyone has been the most indulgence-prone figure in free India, it's Arvind Kejriwal. His party shouldn't be Aam Aadmi Party but Opulent Man Party. Donning the garb of simplicity, he conducted the business of plunder. He promised two rooms but built a Sheesh Mahal.

On the merger of seven AAP MPs into BJP, Verma said: Kejriwal massacred public trust for luxury and comfort. That's why his honest MPs and leaders, suffocating under his corruption, left the party. No self-respecting person can stay long in AAP. In independent India, Kejriwal is the most extravagant spender.

Notably, on April 24, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal shifted to a new Type VII government bungalow in Lodi Estate.
