This change comes just days after his unexpected resignation from the position of chief minister, a role he has held since 2015. Kejriwal's transition to this new address is significant as it places him in close proximity to the AAP headquarters and aligns him with the party's ongoing strategies in the lead-up to the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.

The bungalow, which was previously allotted to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal, will now serve as Kejriwal's home where he will reside with his family. Party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj confirmed the move during a press conference, noting that numerous party leaders had offered their residences to Kejriwal following his decision to vacate 6 Flagstaff Road, his home for nearly a decade.

Mittal expressed his delight upon learning that Kejriwal chose to stay at his residence. In a video message, he stated, “When I realised that he had no place to stay after his resignation, I invited him to be my guest. It gives me immense joy that he has accepted my invitation.”
