"Delhi's citizens have no access to clean water but Kejriwal's bath costs Rs 4 crore..": BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Tuesday lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party and said that convenor Arvind Kejriwal had a royal bath worth Rs 4 crore when Delhi citizens did not even have access to clean drinking water.
Speaking to ANI, Poonawalla said "On one hand, Delhi citizens are not even getting clean drinking water, on the other hand, Arvind Kejriwal's royal bath cost up to Rs 4 crore.... This is the same person who said that he would say in a two bedroom set house and does not want to opt for any VIP services.. Now it makes sense why he didn't want to leave 'Sheesh Mahal,' why media was not allowed inside the residence, and why Atishi Marlena was adopting various tactics to secure the keys of 'Sheesh Mahal'.... Corruption also played a role in such provocative expenditures...."
Earlier today, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal said that Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal' was a 'blot on the democracy.'
"Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal' has put a blot on the democracy of the country... The 'Sheesh Mahal' has demolished the narrative of 'Aam Aadmi' set by Arvind Kejriwal..," he said.
The reaction came after the BJP state President Virendraa Sachdeva released the video, claiming to show the interiors of AAP National Convenor and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's house.
Sachdeva speaking to ANI, accused Arvind Kejriwal of corruption, alleging that Kejriwal's official residence, dubbed "Sheesh Mahal", is a symbol of ill-gotten wealth.
Sachdeva also labelled the Kejriwal government as a "government of scams" that has brought shame to Delhi.
'It is the 'sheesh mahal' which he wanted to hide from the people of Delhi. We have shown the first video of it. Look at the bathroom and the gym of that house. There are granites and equipment, look at the sauna and jacuzzi baths, like that of a 7-star resort. This is the reality of the black money hoarded by Arvind Kejriwal who calls himself a common man. He has to answer why he wanted to hide his house and hide the key to the house. It is not a CM residence, it is a museum of corruption. They should open it for the people. I challenge him to open the doors of this palace and tell the people of Delhi how he has fooled them... This is a government of scams. They have shamed Delhi.,." he said.
