A political confrontation has erupted between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over allegations regarding the residence of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. BJP minister Parvesh Verma held a press conference where he displayed images of Kejriwal's official residence at 95 Lodhi Estate, accusing him of transforming it into a 'Sheesh Mahal Part 2'. In response, AAP leader Atishi vehemently denied the claims, asserting that the images were not of Kejriwal's residence but were instead downloaded from Pinterest, a social media platform for sharing images. She criticized the BJP for spreading false information and suggested that the party should use artificial intelligence to verify facts. Former AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, who recently joined the BJP, also commented on the issue, claiming that the controversy surrounding Kejriwal's previous residence, dubbed 'Sheesh Mahal', was a significant factor in AAP's defeat in the last Delhi Assembly elections. The BJP has consistently used the term 'Sheesh Mahal' to describe the luxurious nature of Kejriwal's official accommodations since he took office in 2015.
