The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of misusing Punjab government resources to acquire a lavish 2-acre government mansion in Chandigarh’s Sector 2, referring to it as ‘Sheesh Mahal 2.0’.
The party’s attack came after former Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal claimed that Kejriwal had been allotted a “luxurious 7-star government mansion” under the Chief Minister’s quota.
In a post on X, BJP said, “After building a ₹52 crore ‘Sheesh Mahal’ in Delhi, Kejriwal will now enjoy a 7-star government mansion spread across 2 acres in Chandigarh.” The party mocked Kejriwal as “Super CM” and shared satellite images of the bungalow, questioning how he could occupy such a property despite not being a minister or MLA.

AAP Calls Allegations ‘Fake and Political’
Responding sharply, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) denied the accusations, stating that the property in question was merely the Chief Minister’s camp office and not Kejriwal’s personal residence.
“Ever since the Prime Minister’s fake Yamuna story was exposed, BJP has been spreading lies out of frustration,” AAP said in its official statement. “From fake Yamuna to fake pollution data and now fake 7-star house claims, BJP’s propaganda continues.”
AAP further asked the BJP to produce an official allotment letter, asserting that the Chandigarh administration, controlled by the BJP itself, was the only authority that could sanction government property.

Swati Maliwal’s Remarks Spark Political Row
Swati Maliwal also alleged that Kejriwal used a government helicopter and private jet funded by the Punjab government for political travel. She claimed, “The entire Punjab government is working for one man.”
The controversy revives old allegations from 2024 when BJP leader Vijender Gupta accused Kejriwal of violating building norms to construct a ₹52 crore mansion — termed ‘Sheesh Mahal’ — at his official Delhi residence. Gupta had complained to the Chief Vigilance Commissioner, alleging corruption and misuse of public funds.
