Arvind Kejriwal Begins Transition from CM Residence to New Bungalow Following Resignation

New Delhi:  Following his resignation as the Chief Minister of Delhi, AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal started vacating the official CM residence on Friday. According to party sources, he will be relocating to a bungalow at 5 Ferozshah Road, which is currently allotted to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) confirmed the move, stating, "Arvind Kejriwal will shift to the bungalow allocated to party MP Ashok Mittal at 5, Ferozshah Road." Notably, Mittal had himself extended the offer for Kejriwal to shift to his residence.

Visuals from the former Chief Minister's residence show mini trucks entering as the moving process began. Ashok Mittal expressed his happiness about the arrangement, saying, "When Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the CM a few days back, I learned later that he doesn't have a house to live in. I invited him to reside in my Delhi house as my guest. Perhaps other workers and leaders of the party also invited him... I am delighted to know that he has chosen my home and decided to stay with me until he gets a house. This is delightful for me as an AAP worker and MP. I hope that in the upcoming Delhi elections, the public will support him like always, and he will be the CM of Delhi once again with an absolute majority."

Earlier, the party stated, "Arvind Kejriwal is looking for a property which is dispute-free and there is no problem in living there." The search for a new house has intensified, with Kejriwal prioritizing a location around New Delhi, from where he serves as an MLA, to remain connected with the people. Many MLAs, councillors, party workers, and common citizens have offered their homes to the AAP Chief.

Kejriwal had tendered his resignation to Delhi LG VK Saxena on September 17, after which Atishi staked her claim to form the new government. Kejriwal indicated that he would return to the post only if he receives a renewed mandate and a "certificate of honesty" from the people of Delhi in the assembly polls likely to be held in February 2025. Atishi took oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on September 22 after being named as his successor by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.
