'AAP = Alishaan Aadmi Party': BJP leader reveals Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal 2', makes big claim on Bhagwant Mann

Delhi deputy chief minister and BJP leader Parvesh Verma on Saturday attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and went on to call AAP the "Alishaan Aadmi Party". He further claimed that Arvind Kejriwal lives in 'Sheesh Mahal 2'.

Calling Kejriwal "Delhi's Rahman Dakait," he even questioned the former Delhi Chief Minister as to how much money has been invested in the Lodhi Road bungalow or the new Sheesh Mahal.

Addressing a press conference, Verma said, "The Aam Aadmi Party should be 'Alishaan Aadmi Party'... Will Kejriwal tell us how much money has been invested in the Lodhi Road bungalow or the new Sheesh Mahal? Where did the money come from, and whose money is it?"

Sheesh Mahal was built during the COVID wave in Delhi

He said that the Sheesh Mahal was built when Delhi was suffering from the COVID wave, when people were struggling for medicines and even dying. "During that time, work on Delhi's Sheesh Mahal didn't stop for a single day, as per Kejriwal's orders."

The Delhi deputy CM went on to claim that honest workers are leaving the AAP because of Kejriwal's "greed". "What is the need to make such a Sheesh Mahal again and again? Whose company used their money in this Sheesh Mahal?"

Taking further shots at Kejriwal and the AAP, he said, "The way they had spent as much brainpower on each room as they did, had they devoted that much time to Delhi's affairs instead, perhaps today their workers wouldn't be leaving the Aam Aadmi Party."

Kejriwal shifted to 95 Lodhi Estate: Verma

He referred to Kejriwal's move to a government bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate. "He shifted to 95 Lodhi Estate yesterday, the same person who said he would live like a common man," Verma said.

“When I visited the earlier ‘Sheesh Mahal’, I wondered how someone could sleep in such a luxurious house kaise neend aati hogi (how do they even sleep there?),” he added.

Kejriwal increased Bhagwant Mann's problems: Parvesh Verma

Verma added that when Delhi's 'Dhurandhar' voters defeated Kejriwal, he moved to Punjab and increased 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 MP Sanjay Singh, and another by Manish Sisodia."

Furthermore, Verma said that Mann is definitely tense and "wondering when Arvind Kejriwal will leave him, or he will leave Arvind Kejriwal."

"He is feeling suffocated, but he knows under the pressure of which video he is saying all these things and is not leaving the party."

Raghav Chadha quits AAP

His claims came a day after Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak quit the AAP to join the BJP.

Chadha even claimed that Swati Maliwal, Harbhajan Singh, Rajinder Gupta and Vikramjit Singh Sahney also left AAP and joined the saffron party.

Ashok Mittal previously replaced Chadha as the party's Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha. With this, 7 out of 10 AAP Rajya Sabha MPs have merged into the BJP.
