Arvind Kejriwal, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, has officially begun vacating the Chief Minister’s residence following his resignation as Delhi’s CM. On Friday, Kejriwal initiated the move, relocating to a bungalow owned by AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal, situated at 5 Ferozshah Road.
AAP confirmed that Mittal extended the offer for Kejriwal to stay at his official residence. Party sources detailed scenes of moving trucks at the former CM’s home, indicating the transition process is underway.
Mittal shared his excitement about hosting Kejriwal, noting that he looks forward to learning from the AAP National Convenor during his stay. Meanwhile, AAP members have come together to support Kejriwal by offering additional housing options as he searches for a permanent, dispute-free residence.
Kejriwal submitted his resignation to Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena, on September 17, following controversy related to an excise policy case. He declared that he would only return as Chief Minister if given a fresh mandate from the electorate, along with a “certificate of honesty.” On September 22, Atishi officially took over as Delhi’s new Chief Minister.
