Kejri was splurging during Covid: Modi
The Free Press Journal|January 06, 2025
In a searing attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condemned the AAP government's blatant disregard for the public while splurging money on opulence during the COVID-19 crisis.
Kejri was splurging during Covid: Modi

The Prime Minister's most stinging criticism focused on Kejriwal's construction of an extravagant residence, the "Sheesh Mahal," which cost the public a staggering Rs 33 crore—far exceeding the initial budget of Rs 8.6 crore. Modi's comments highlight the hypocrisy at the heart of Kejriwal's governance, especially when his government should have been focused on alleviating the suffering of Delhiites during the pandemic.

Modi, speaking at a rally, accused the Delhi Chief Minister of using public funds for his personal gain during one of the most devastating health crises in modern history.

"When the people of Delhi were grappling with COVID-19, struggling to find medical oxygen and medicines, the entire focus of the 'AAPda people' (AAP) was on building their own 'Sheesh Mahal (palaces),'" Modi remarked.
