NEW DELHI, Oct 4: Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener, Arvind Kejriwal, vacated his 6, Flagstaff Road residence on Friday. Kejriwal, along with his parents, wife, and two children, was seen leaving the house as they moved to a new residence in the Lutyens’ Zone.
The Kejriwal family has now shifted to 5 Ferozeshah Road, the official residence of AAP member and Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, Ashok Mittal. The bungalow is located near Mandi House in central Delhi.
Kejriwal stepped down as chief minister last month, stating he would only return to the position after earning a “certificate of honesty” from the people of Delhi in the Assembly elections set for February. The move to vacate his official residence was timed with the Navratri festival, which began Thursday.
The BJP has accused Kejriwal of corruption related to the excise policy and the reconstruction of the Chief Minister’s bungalow. Kejriwal was released from Tihar jail on September 13 after being granted bail by the Supreme Court, following five months of imprisonment in connection with the excise policy case.
