Arvind Kejriwal to Get Government Accommodation Soon, Says Manohar Lal Khattar

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced on Tuesday that AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will soon be allotted government accommodation, a provision he is entitled to as the leader of a national party.

Addressing a question at a press conference, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar stated that Arvind Kejriwal, as the president of a national party, is entitled to a Type VII bungalow. However, he clarified that all Type VII bungalows are currently occupied.

"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 pressing for central government accommodation for Arvind Kejriwal, asserting his entitlement as the convenor of a national party. The party recently reiterated its demand in a letter to the Union Housing Ministry. Following his resignation as Delhi Chief Minister in September, Kejriwal moved to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal's official residence at 5 Ferozeshah Road in October.
