Stepping up the attack on Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh on Thursday shared a video titled "Dhurandhar 3" showing the lavish "sheesh mahal" built by the former chief minister, who he described as "Delhi's Rehman Dakait".
Rehman Dakait is a Pakistani gangster in the blockbuster film "Dhurandhar".
In the almost 15-minute video shared on X, Singh is seen touring 6, Flagstaff Road bungalow, which was Kejriwal's official residence from 2015 to 2024 and is pejoratively referred to as "sheesh mahal" by the BJP over alleged corruption in its renovation, and sharing prices of various things like jacuzzi and chandelier.
"Automatic sliding doors and curtains cost Rs 90 lakh, glass covered roof, two well-equipped kitchens, Belgian crockery, fitness equipment from the US, a lift for carrying food upstairs, a 14-seater dining table for a family of six," Singh said in the video.
He claimed that the bungalow cost Rs 80 crore and its extension was planned, but it did not materialise as the AAP was ousted by the BJP in the 2025 assembly polls.
A Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report tabled in the Delhi Assembly on Monday listed various irregularities in renovation of the bungalow, which was completed at a cost of Rs 33.66 crore against an estimate of around Rs 8 crore.
It was during a debate on the CAG report in the House on Wednesday that Singh first compared Kejriwal to Rehman Dakait while reading out a long list of items kept in the "sheesh mahal".
"Recently, a popular movie, 'Dhurandhar,' was released. Arvind Kejriwal was like 'Rahman Dakait', who robbed public wealth, but our 'Dhurandhar' public voted out such 'dakait' (bandit) last year," Singh had said.
The AAP hit back, saying that when Kejriwal's "official residence" was being renovated, the prime minister's residence was also being built.
"Every detail of the CM residence is in the public domain, while every detail of the prime minister's residence has been kept secret," Delhi AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a statement on Wednesday.
The issue of "sheesh mahal" was one of the major poll planks of the BJP and contributed to the AAP's defeat in the February 2025 assembly polls.
