Delhi Congress on Tuesday attacked former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his new residence in Civil lines area claiming that the AAP chief has developed a habit of living in sprawling houses by wasting the poor people’s money.
“Arvind Kejriwal had been paying rent of Rs 85,000 using the hard earned money of the poor people and taxpayer by taking undue advantage of politics. No common man would muster courage to live in an 800 square yard house in Civil lines area that too when it is stuck in a legal wrangle over ownership,” said Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) chief spokesperson Mukesh Sharma.
“I want to clear that Kejriwal’s wife is 1994-batch IRS officer and as per the existing law, C2 category house cannot be allotted to her as of now. 1994-batch officers can only be allotted a house under B2 category,” said Sharma.
He said that Kejriwal has a secret pact with the BJP as New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has recently written a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) seeking a nod to allot a house to every NDMC member. Since Kejriwal is an NDMC member, he would also be allotted a house under the proposal very soon.
