Ex-CM Arvind Kejriwal's 'Sheesh Mahal' may be turned into a state guest house, sources say 08.07.2026

The Delhi government is planning to repurpose the former official residence of ex-Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal into a state guest house. Located at bungalow number 6 on Flagstaff Road in Civil Lines, the property is currently unoccupied and maintained by ten staff members. The proposed conversion aims to provide amenities such as parking and a waiting hall for visiting ministers and officials, who will be able to use the facility for a fee. This decision follows intense scrutiny regarding the lavish renovations conducted at the residence during Kejriwal's tenure, which the BJP famously labeled the "Sheesh Mahal." Currently, the property is the subject of ongoing investigations, including a vigilance inquiry initiated by LG VK Saxena and a separate probe by the CBI following complaints of cost escalations and irregularities. Final implementation awaits approval from higher authorities.
