The keys of the CM residence at 6, Flagstaff Road, which Mrs Kejriwal handed over to a PWD official, were later returned to the family. This twist comes on the relocation of Arvind Kejriwal, who vacated his official residence after nine years. His new bungalow at 5, Ferozeshah Road in Lutyens’ Delhi is an integral part of the preparation ahead for the Delhi Assembly elections.
Kejriwal has to confront several political and legal battles, and corruption charges are still hanging over his head. After surrendering the house, former CM Kejriwal and family drove away with a bag full of memories gathered over the years.
Keys of CM residence were surrender by Sunita, family recovers soon
His wife Sunita Kejriwal had formally surrendered the keys of the CM’s residence but within no time, the family recovered them. The house belongs to the Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) and will be occupied by Ashok Mittal AAP Rajya Sabha MP. PWD department officially writes to CM office that the keys of CM residence that was handed over by Mrs Kejriwal to the staff was taken back after sometime. PWD department says we do not have the key of CM house.
A social media post with proof claiming that:
For the Kejriwal family, the moment of emotional farewell at the Flagstaff Road residence was significant. Their belongings were being moved in two mini trucks as this family was preparing to perform their ‘Grih Pravesh’ ritual at their new home.
The transition marked by the symbolic return of the keys of the CM residence heralds for Kejriwal, who resigned as CM before vacating, a new beginning. His resignation has come at a time when the Navratri festival is going on, so that his life would see a new beginning.
When his woes-tainted allegations by the BJP about his indiscipline, particularly against the renovation of his old residence and the scandal relating to the corruption in the excise policy, Kejriwal did not divert his attention towards the elections.
He is going to a new residence and at the same time he will take back the key of CM residence, which would be very important for him in near future politics.
