BJP shares ‘Sheeshmahal 2’ pics with ‘Rahman Dakait’ dig at Arvind Kejriwal; AAP calls them ‘fake’, asks CM Rekha Gupta to show house | India News
NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday launched a sharp attack on Arvind Kejriwal, a day after Raghav Chadha and six other MPs from Rajya Sabha left the Aam Aadmi Party. BJP labelled Kejriwal as the “Rahman Dakait of Delhi” and released fresh images of what it called “Sheeshmahal 2.”Delhi minister Parvesh Verma in a press conference accused Kejriwal of living lavishly despite earlier claims of simplicity.
He said, “…Delhi’s Rahman Dakait, just as a sequel to the movie ‘Dhurandhar’ came out, similarly, we are going to reveal ‘Sheesh Mahal 2’ today…”
Verma alleged that the original “Sheesh Mahal” in Delhi was built while the city was battling the Covid wave.He said, “…Kejriwal built the Sheesh Mahal in Delhi when Delhi was suffering from the COVID wave… The people of Delhi were demanding COVID medicine and were dying. During that time, work on Delhi’s Sheesh Mahal didn’t stop for a single day, as per Kejriwal’s orders…”The BJP leader further claimed that after electoral setbacks in Delhi, Kejriwal shifted his political focus to Punjab, creating pressure for Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann.
He said, “…When our ‘Dhurandhar’ Delhi voters defeated Delhi’s Rahman Dakait, he moved to Punjab, increasing Bhagwant Mann’s problems. Of the four large government houses surrounding Bhagwant Mann’s house, one was occupied by Kejriwal, another by former Delhi health minister Satyendra Jain, a third by Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh, and another by Manish Sisodia…”Verma also targeted Kejriwal over his recent residence at 95 Lodhi Estate and accused him of abandoning his earlier image of modest living.He said, “…In Punjab, Bhagwant Mann is upset… He built another Sheesh Mahal there. Today, in Delhi, he has been going to court for the past several years, asking for a bungalow. And when he got the bungalow where he moved in yesterday, 95 Lodhi Estate. When the pictures of it came out, we were astonished. The man who said he would live simply today lives in a luxurious manner…”The BJP also alleged that the properties were linked to funds from the alleged liquor scam case. No immediate response from Kejriwal or the AAP was reported on the accusations.
Pictures issued by Pravesh Verma are fake: Atishi
Meanwhile, AAP MLA Atishi slammed BJP leader Parvesh Verma and said, “All the pictures issued by Pravesh Verma are fake. They are not pictures of Kejriwal’s house. To find out whose house is more luxurious, Rekha Gupta and LG Saxena should open up their own homes, and Kejriwal will open up his house. The public will decide for itself.”
