Chandigarh, Nov 1
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday slammed the BJP for terming an official accommodation of the government in Chandigarh as a “Sheesh Mahal” for AAP’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal.
In a video message, the Chief Minister said the house that the BJP is claiming is a “Sheesh Mahal” made for Kejriwal is the same house that serves as an official residence for guests of the Punjab CM. “It is the same house that a Pakistani journalist and friend of Capt Amarinder Singh stayed in when he was the Chief Minister, but the BJP never criticised it then,” Mann asked.
Sheesh Mahal is originally a political term used by the BJP to refer to Kejriwal's erstwhile Chief Minister's residence at 6 Flag Staff Road in north Delhi, which it claimed was no less than a palace.
