Swati Maliwal alleges 'Sheeshmahal 2' prepared for Kejriwal in Punjab: '7-star mansion of 2 acres under CM quota'

Sheeshmahal 2 is being built in Punja with the state’s taxpayers’ money and Punjab CM quota as Kejriwal is the super CM of Punjab, says BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla.

Swati Maliwal has been at loggerheads with the AAP leadership ever since she filed an assault case against an aide of Kejriwal last year.

Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Friday alleged that former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has built “Sheeshmahal” in Punjab.

“After the Sheesh Mahal in Delhi became vacant, Arvind Kejriwal ji has had an even more splendid Sheesh Mahal built in Punjab than the one in Delhi. In Chandigarh's Sector 2, a luxurious 7-star government mansion of 2 acres under the CM quota has been allotted to Arvind Kejriwal ji,” she posted on X.

Maliwal, who has been at loggerheads with the party leadership ever since she filed an assault case against an aide of Kejriwal last year, claimed that the "entire Punjab government is serving one man".

“Yesterday, he boarded a government helicopter right from in front of his house for Ambala, and then from Ambala, the Punjab government's private jet took him to Gujarat for party work. The entire Punjab government is engaged in serving one man,” she said.

Sharing her post, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the “sheeshmahal mindset” is not gone yet.

“Sheeshmahal 2 is being built in Punja with the state’s taxpayers’ money and Punjab CM quota as Kejriwal is the super CM of Punjab,” he told Moneycontrol.

The Delhi unit of the BJP also put a post in X, saying, "The man who pretended to be the common man, Kejriwal, has had another grand Sheesh Mahal built".

Earlier this month, the Delhi government confirmed plans to convert the 'sheeshmahal' in the national capital - at 6, Flag Staff Road, into a guest house, complete with an in-house cafeteria.

Kejriwal's "sheeshmahal" or luxurious chief minister residence had been a key factor in the BJP's poll campaign against the Aam Aadmi Party in the run-up to the Delhi election this year.

The former CM lost his re-election bid from the New Delhi seat to former two-time BJP MP Parvesh Verma. On the other hand, the BJP clinched a historic victory in the Delhi Assembly Election 2025. It  made its comeback to power in the capital after 27 years.  The AAP secured 22 seats while the BJP clinched 48.
