Delhi Assembly Refers CAG Report on Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal' Residence to PAC

• Delhi Assembly refers CAG report on renovation of former CM Arvind Kejriwal’s official residence to Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for deeper probe.
• PWD minister Parvesh Verma alleged the project extended beyond the main residence, claiming an additional structure (Sheesh Mahal-2) was under construction with costs potentially reaching Rs 60 crore.
• Verma stated Rs 25 crore already spent on the additional structure, and the initial tender of Rs 7.9 crore was revised multiple times, with the same contractor receiving work.
• Chief Minister Rekha Gupta criticized the 'extravagance' and accused Kejriwal of acting like an 'emperor', prioritizing 'world-class' interiors over city infrastructure.
• AAP responded by questioning the selective focus on the Delhi CM’s residence while details of the PM’s residence renovation remain secret, and highlighted other expenditures like VVIP boats.
