New Delhi: After having refused a bungalow, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has finally decided to move into a five-bedroom duplex house in Delhi. Kejriwal's current move is likely to provide ammunition to the Opposition to target him, as they had already hit out at his austerity measures in the past.
Earlier, Delhi Chief Secretary DM Sapolia had proposed a bungalow for Kejriwal as the Chief Minister, to which he had said no.
Kejriwal, who had also refused security cover, lives in Kaushambi in Uttar Pradesh with his family. "Thank you for offering me the security. But as I already informed earlier, I don't need any security. I don't need any escort or PSO. God is my biggest security. However I would be grateful if some help is provided for crowd management at a few places where i get mobbed," he wrote in his letter to the Additional Commissioner of Police.
Kejriwal has also made it clear that no AAP MLA will take a red beacon car and will carry themself as an 'aam aadmi'.
The working style of AAP government has come under criticism of political pundits and the Opposition but the party has gained momentum within the public. Within days of forming the government, Kejriwal has delivered two major promises - 700 litres of free water daily and slashed power tariff by 50 per cent.
Kejriwal took oath as the Delhi Chief Minister on December 28, 2013 at Ramlila Maidan, the nerve centre of the Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption agitation in 2011 and won the confidence motion on January 2, 2014.
