🌠AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj announced that they would be taking the media for a tour of the official CM Residence amid the Sheesh Mahal row. However, the leaders and their supporters clashed with the police after they were denied entry on Wednesday.

ꦇSingh and Bharadwaj engaged in a heated argument with police officials outside 6 FlagStaff Road Bungalow after they were denied entry.

🌳As per police officials, the leaders were not allowed to enter the CM's residence as they "lacked official permission" for entry.

ܫ"The police and PWD officials are saying that there is an order from the top to not allow anyone inside the CM residence. I told them that I am the minister... this means that there is an order from the LG," said Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, adding that the "BJP will be happy with the police action".

🥃After they were denied entry, the AAP leasers and supporters sat on a "dharna" outside the official CM residence.

BJP Releases Video Of CM Residence Amid Row

𓃲As AAP leaders continue their dharna outside the CM Residence, the Bharatiya Janata Party has released a video of Kejriwal's home, which they have dubbed the "Sheesh Mahal".

😼"There was a time when big promises were made to end the VIP culture. One person entered politics, and the public, swayed by his smooth talk, crowned him with power. But as soon as he came to power, he shattered the public's trust. Everyone who considered him a common man was ashamed. While talking about the common man, he made himself special and gathered all the luxuries for himself. The truth of this hypocrisy hidden under the guise of a common man has been exposed," said the BJP.

What Is The Sheesh Mahal Row?

The Bharatiya Janta Party has accused former CM Arvind Kejriwal of spending a large amount to renovate the CM's residence into a "Sheesh Mahal". The BJP 🦂has further stated that Kejriwal spent over Rs 40 crore on renovating the residence, which the Aam Aadmi Party has denied.

🌌Speaking at a rally in Delhi, PM Modi also flagged Kejriwal's "Sheesh Mahal", escalating the row.
