Finally That's my Home : Arvind kejriwal

Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal's hunt for a house comes to an end

The hunt for a suitable residence for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind 

Kejriwal finally comes to an end with Urban Development 

Ministry allotting him a three-bedroom house at Tilak Lane in the 

Lutyen's zone.




The Directorate of Estates has allotted a ground floor house C-

II/23, at Tilak Lane, a type VI house, to Mr Kejriwal, sources said.




The corner house with three bedrooms, drawing, dining, two 

servant quarters and a common garage near the Patiala House 

court is spread across about 1,600 square feet area with a lawn 

and community park nearby.




Delhi Government had made a request for a suitable 

accommodation in Central Delhi for its Chief Minister.




Though the Delhi government has a few bungalows in its 

possession at DDU Marg and Shamnath Marg, Mr Kejriwal has 

preferred for a house in the central Delhi given his Gole Market 

constituency in the area.




Earlier Mr Kejriwal was allotted two duplex apartments at 

Bhagwan Dass Road but he declined the accommodation after 

controversy erupted over it.




The house has been handed over to PWD of Delhi government 

and now it will be responsible for its maintenance, sources added.




Meanwhile, former Chief Minister Shiela Dikhsit has been asked 

to vacate the 3 Motilal Nehru Place, a type VIII bungalow. "A 

letter to this effect was issued on January 10," they said.
