Delhi to convert Arvind Kejriwal bungalow into guesthouse cultural center
India
The Delhi government is turning Arvind Kejriwal's former Civil Lines bungalow into a Delhi State Guest House-cum-Cultural Centre.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and top officials gave the plan a green light, hoping to finally give the city a proper spot for official events and visiting delegations.
Bungalow renovation costs ballooned over 340%
The property will soon have guest rooms, meeting spaces, a conference hall, and an auditorium for cultural programs. The whole area, including an adjacent building from the AAP era, will be part of this new complex.
While the bungalow's pricey renovation sparked controversy last year (with costs ballooning more than 340% higher), officials are moving ahead, aiming to fill Delhi's long-standing need for such a venue.
