Leading the protesters, the BJP's Chandni Chowk MP Harsh Vardhan said CM Kejriwal should open his "bungalow" for the common people so that they can see for themselves the renovation that was undertaken. "He can do so by issuing entry tickets," the former Union minister said.
The BJP has been attacking CM Kejriwal and the AAP, alleging that the chief minister spent Rs 45 crore on the renovation of his official residence during 2020-22.
"The most shameful thing in this is that this scam was done at a time when corona was in its worst form in Delhi and hundreds of people were dying every day," the BJP's Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva had said.
