AAP national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will soon get a government bungalow which he is entitled to as the chief of a national party, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Tuesday.
Khattar said Kejriwal is entitled to a Type VII bungalow. However, all Type VII bungalows are currently occupied, he added.
"At present, we only have Type V and VI bungalows available, but there is currently no availability of Type VII bungalows. Kejriwal will be allotted a Type VII bungalow as soon as it is available," Khattar said. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been demanding a central government accommodation for Kejriwal, asserting that he is entitled to it as the convenor of a national party.
The party recently sent a letter to the Union Housing Ministry reiterating this demand.
Kejriwal resigned as the Delhi chief minister in September and shifted to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal's official residence at 5 Ferozeshah Road in October.
