In a scathing critique, Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta lashed out at former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, targeting the controversial renovation of his official residence, sarcastically dubbed 'Sheesh Mahal'.
Speaking to ANI, Gupta highlighted the opulence of the residence, suggesting it represents a gross misuse of public funds at a time when many Delhi residents are deprived of basic facilities. She referred to the bungalow as a 'white elephant', underscoring its uselessness and positioning it as a financial burden on the city.
