The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has hit back at the BJP, asking it to abandon its negative politics and focus on fulfilling promises made to the people of Delhi. AAP’s chief spokesperson, Priyanka Kakkar, questioned why the BJP barred media from inspecting the CM residence if there were alleged rule violations. She challenged the BJP to reveal whether claims of a golden toilet, swimming pool, and mini bar were facts or just political theatrics.
Turning the tables, the AAP demanded an investigation into the extravagant ₹2,750 crore “Raj Mahal,” including a ₹300 crore carpet and ₹200 crore chandeliers, questioning who approved such opulence.
During a media interaction, AAP’s Chief Spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar urged the BJP to shift towards positive politics now that Delhi’s people have elected them. She reminded the BJP of its many promises, particularly its commitment to providing Rs. 2,500 to every woman in Delhi by 8 March. “The BJP must focus on delivering this promise,” she said.
Questioning BJP’s actions, Priyanka Kakkar raised concerns over media restrictions at 6 Flag Staff Road. “If there was any rule violation, why didn’t BJP allow the media inside? Because the truth would have been exposed—there is no golden toilet, no swimming pool, and no mini-bar. That’s why the media was kept out,” she said.
She further demanded an impartial probe, pointing to the extravagant expenditure on PM Modi’s ‘Rajmahal’ during COVID. “The public’s Rs. 2,750 crore was spent on this mansion. Who approved Rs. 300 crore for carpets, Rs. 200 crore for chandeliers, and Rs. 150 crore for a throne? Who sanctioned the tunnel inside this palace? They must acknowledge all this and conduct an impartial investigation,” she asserted.
