New Delhi: The newly elected MLA of Bhartiya Janta Party in Delhi from Rohini, Vijender Gupta on Monday wrote to Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K Saxena  demanding immediate action against the illegal construction and gross violations of rules at former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official residence at 6, Flag Staff Road.

According to a press release from the office of Vijender Gupta, he urged that the property be restored to its original condition and that encroachments on adjacent government properties be removed without delay.

In his letter to the LG, Vijender Gupta alleged that Arvind Kejriwal transformed his official residence into a grand “Sheesh Mahal” using public funds, which was completely illegal and unethical.

According to the release, in the letter he stated, “The modifications were carried out without any official approval or adherence to prescribed procedures. The residence’s area was expanded from 10,000 square meters to 50,000 square meters, encroaching upon adjacent government properties.”

The release said that Gupta’s letter detailed how the Kejriwal government illegally incorporated eight Type-V flats at 45 and 47, Rajpur Road, as well as the government bungalows at 8A and 8B, Flag Staff Road, into the Chief Minister’s residential complex.

As per the release, The BJP legislator demanded the immediate removal of these encroachments and called for the separation of 8A and 8B Flag Staff Road from the CM residence complex. He asserted that this was not just a violation of government regulations but also a blatant misuse of public funds.

Vijender Gupta condemned the entire affair as a serious case of corruption, highlighting that crores of rupees were spent from Delhi’s treasury to build this luxurious mansion while the city’s residents struggled for basic necessities.
