Kejriwal
Gupta refuses Kejriwal's residence
Gupta has refused to move into 6 Flag Staff Road, the official residence of former CM and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal.
This bungalow was a key target in the BJP's campaign against the AAP, with the party calling it a "Sheesh Mahal" and accusing Kejriwal of spending several crores on its renovation.
The expenditure and role of officials in this project are currently under investigation.
