Arvind Kejriwal will move into bungalow number 5 on Ferozeshah Road in Lutyens’ Delhi on Friday, days after he resigned from the Delhi Chief Minister’s post.
Arvind Kejriwal on Friday vacated the 6, Flagstaff Road residence to move to his new address in the Lutyens’ Zone. The former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener was seen leaving the house in a car with his wife and son. His parents and daughter were left in another car. For the same, mini trucks started entering the residence in the morning. Kejriwal, who resigned as Delhi Chief Minister last month, will live with his family at the official residence of Punjab Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal on Ferozeshah Road near Mandi House — close to the AAP headquarters at Ravi Shankar Shukla Lane.
On Thursday, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also shifted to a bungalow on Rajendra Prasad Road. The house is the official residence of AAP Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh, party leaders said. Several party leaders, including MPs, MLAs and councillors, had offered Kejriwal their houses after he decided to leave 6, Flagstaff Road in north Delhi’s Civil Lines, where he lived since 2015 as the chief minister. The new accommodation of Kejriwal, where he will move in with his family, is close to the AAP headquarters at Ravi Shankar Shukla Lane.
In a video message, AAP MP Mittal said he was delighted to know that Kejriwal had chosen his house. “When he (Kejriwal) resigned as the chief minister, I came to know that he had no place to stay… I invited him to be my guest at my Delhi residence, and it brings me great joy that he has accepted my request,” Mittal said.
Living in the New Delhi area, which is also his Assembly constituency, Kejriwal will supervise AAP’s campaign for the upcoming polls in Delhi and other states, party leaders said.
