The Delhi CM’s residence which is also known as the ‘Sheesh Mahal,’ for its grandeur is again in the spotlight. The PWD has released a detailed list of inventories in the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ located on 6, Flagstaff Road in Delhi. This was the official residence of the Aam Aadmi Party’s convenor and former CM of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal.

BJP National Spokesperson Amit Malviya, slammed AAP and shared the complete list of the PWD. He tweeted, “Here is the list of electric appliances and gadgets installed in Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘Sheesh mahal’.” While sharing the complete list of luxurious inventories he also tweeted about a TOTO smart toilet. He claimed, “But here is the surprise. Fully automatic, sensor equipped TOTO smart toilet seats with features like, automatic open-close seat, heated seat, wireless remote deodorizer and automatic flushing, installed for the comfort of Arvind Kejriwal’s bum, go missing. Cost of one such toilet seat ranges between rupees 10-12 lakh!”
