Amid ongoing row over 'Sheesh Mahal', the AAP leaders on Wednesday got into a stand-off with police outside the Delhi CM's residence with the BJP dubbing it as a "clear display of anarchy".

Labelling the CM's bungalow as 'Sheesh Mahal', the BJP had claimed that the Delhi Chief Minister's residence had swimming pools and a golden commode. The saffron party had alleged that the high expenses were undertaken on refurbishing at the Delhi Chief Minister's official residence when Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal was holding the Chief Minister's post.
