DELHI ELECTIONS | BJP makes 'missing' luxurious items from former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's Sheesh Mahal toilet a poll issue

- Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar

'"'LOO LOOT' BJP'S POLL GATHA"

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday organised protests against Aam Aadmi Party and its convener Arvind Kejriwal all across Delhi to tell the people how the expensive restoration of his official residence as Chief Minister had resulted in purchase of toilet seats worth Rs 12 lakh and how 15 of them were found missing when he vacated the premises after stepping down from the post.

Since the issue appeals directly to the ordinary citizens, the BJP leaders and workers organised numerous protest rallies across Delhi where they accused the former CM of spending taxpayers' money on his personal luxuries. The capital city is due for Assembly elections in February 2025.
