New Delhi: The Chief Minister of Assam  Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday took a jibe at AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal and said that his only interest left in Delhi is to see the ‘Sheesh Mahal’.

He while speaking with the media said that all the Chief Ministers should be given a chance to see the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ once.

Sarma shared that he believes that the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ should be declared a national museum and we should also get a chance to see it once. So that I can see if we can make a replica of the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ in Assam as well. The only interest I have left in Delhi is the ‘Sheesh Mahal’. 

“I went to see the Mohalla clinic once or twice but there was nothing to see. First, I thought it would be a replica of the Taj Mahal. Now I feel that the only thing Kejriwal ji has made in Delhi is the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ and I have a desire to see it once. I will try to go there once whenever I get a chance. I request all the CMs to be given a chance to see the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ once.”

On Monday, BJP MP Sambit Patra condemned Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal for the alleged ‘scam’ of renovating the ‘Sheesh Mahal,’ the official residence of the former Chief Minister.

However, he further revealed that after the completion of the project, the cost had risen by 342.31 pc, to Rs 33.66 crore.
