Sanjay Singh revealed that there were attempts to persuade Kejriwal to remain in the residence due to ongoing security concerns. Singh noted that the former chief minister had faced several attacks in the past, and the official residence was considered a safer location. Despite these concerns, Kejriwal opted not to stay, expressing his belief in divine protection.
"Arvind Kejriwal has decided to vacate his official residence within a week. We tried to convince him to stay, citing security issues and previous attacks," Singh said. "However, he has chosen to trust that God will protect him."
