Delhi’s Leader of Opposition, Vijender Gupta, accused Chief Minister Atishi of engaging in political theatrics to gain public sympathy. His comments come after a social media post showed Atishi working amidst empty boxes at her official residence.

Gupta criticised the post, calling it “Aam Aadmi Party’s new drama”. He said, “Atishi has become skilled in staging these dramas under the guidance of her leader, Kejriwal. She is now trying to play the victim card by sharing such photos, much like Kejriwal did in the past.”

Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said that Atishi’s belongings were placed there after the PWD handed over the keys to her on Sunday, but her possessions were later forcibly removed.

“On what grounds did the L-G throw out her belongings?” questioned the AAP MP

“This insults an elected woman Chief Minister and the mandate of people… Atishi even held a meeting at the Camp Office after taking possession of the residence.” he added.

“I have the official document to prove that Arvind Kejriwal vacated the house with no dues pending,” Singh stated.

On Wednesday, sources from the L-G office said ‘official CM residence is not officially the CM’s residence’.
