Besides Kejriwal, 7 other AAP ministers consumed power worth Rs 1.15 crores during the same period.
The RTI revelations come on the heels of allegations of opulence faced by Arvind Kejriwal, the former Delhi Chief Minister, who was accused of spending taxpayer money on lavish renovations and furnishings for his official residence, dubbed the “Sheesh Mehal.” The inventory list included high-end appliances, furniture, and decorative items, totalling millions of rupees, which contradicted Kejriwal’s previous claims of austerity and raised questions about the Aam Aadmi Party’s transparency.
