Swati Maliwal

A political firestorm erupts over a so-called 'Shish Mahal 2.0', with Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal and the BJP accusing AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal of being allotted a palatial government mansion in Chandigarh. In a post on X, Maliwal alleged, 'The entire Punjab government seems to be serving one man'. The BJP has dubbed Kejriwal 'Punjab's Super CM', claiming the two-acre residence is a '7-star' mansion allotted from the Chief Minister's quota, a charge the Aam Aadmi Party vehemently denies. AAP has dismissed the allegations as a 'fake and fabricated' smear campaign, questioning why the BJP, which controls the Chandigarh administration, has not produced any allotment letter. The controversy intensifies the political battle between the parties, echoing previous disputes over Kejriwal's official residence in Delhi and creating ripples ahead of the Tarn Taran by-poll scheduled for November 11.

The row is over a sprawling government residence in Chandigarh, which Maliwal and the BJP have dubbed a 'bigger sheesh mahal' and a 'seven-star' mansion allotted from the Chief Minister's quota for Kejriwal's use. The BJP has called Kejriwal Punjab's 'super CM', claiming he is living a five-star lifestyle at the expense of the state exchequer. AAP has strongly refuted the claims, calling them a smear campaign and challenging the BJP to produce any allotment letter.
