Delhi Elections: Amit Shah says Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal' to be opened for public viewing

Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah made a bold claim on Monday that former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, known as the 'Sheesh Mahal,' will be opened to the public.

Speaking at an election rally in the Jangpura assembly constituency, Shah accused Kejriwal of greed, stating that the former CM was not satisfied with just one house and went ahead to construct the ‘Sheesh Mahal’.

Shah alleged that a hefty Rs 51,000 crore was spent on the construction of the mansion, which, according to him, belongs to the people of Delhi.

"In 2013, Kejriwal used to say he would not take a house, car, or security after becoming CM. But he took a car and a bungalow as well. He was not satisfied with one house, so he constructed the 'Sheesh Mahal'... Who does this Rs 51,000 crore belong to? It belongs to the people of Delhi. I promise that we will open the 'Sheesh Mahal' for public viewing... After Kejriwal indulged in corruption worth crores of rupees, should he be voted to power again?" Shah said in his address.

Shah also turned his attention to former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, accusing him of deceiving the residents of Patparganj. "Manish Sisodia (AAP candidate from Jangpura constituency) has come here. You should ask him, what did he do that he had to leave Patparganj (constituency)? He thinks he can make false promises here now after deceiving the people of Patparganj," Shah remarked.

The BJP leader further criticized Sisodia's tenure as Deputy CM, accusing him of allowing liquor shops to be set up near religious places, including temples, schools, and gurudwaras.

"As Deputy CM, he did one thing: he opened liquor shops near all temples, schools, and gurudwaras. There is only one education minister in the country who went to jail in the liquor scam," Shah added.

In a pointed comment aimed at Kejriwal and Sisodia, Shah remarked, "The Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan have cheated Delhi." Sisodia, the sitting Patparganj MLA, is contesting from the Jangpura assembly seat against BJP's Tarvinder Singh Marwah and Congress' Farhad Suri.

Monday marked the last day of campaigning for the Delhi Assembly elections, which are set to take place on Wednesday, February 5. The election results will be declared on February 8.
