Government Accommodation Soon for AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal: Khattar
Housing minister Manohar Lal Khattar says that a new government accommodation will soon be provided to AAP chief Kejriwal as all the current ones are full.
New Delhi, Dec 10 (PTI) Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said that a government accommodation will soon be allotted to AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, which he is entitled to as the chief of a national party.
Responding to a question at a press conference, Khattar said that as the president of a national party, Kejriwal is entitled to a Type VII bungalow.
However, all Type VII bungalows are currently occupied, he added.
"At present, we only have Type V and VI bungalows available, but there is currently no availability of Type VII bungalows. Kejriwal will be allotted a Type VII bungalow as soon as it is available," Khattar said The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been demanding a central government accommodation for Kejriwal, asserting that he is entitled to it as the convenor of a national party.
The party recently sent a letter to the Union Housing Ministry reiterating this demand.
Kejriwal, who resigned as the Delhi chief in September, shifted to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal's official residence at 5 Ferozeshah Road in October.
