Kejriwal Criticizes Modi’s ‘Sheeshmahal’ Comment and BJP’s Delhi Promises

The Prime Minister also sought to underline his commitment to the welfare of Delhi’s underprivileged, saying, I could have built a sheeshmahal (glass palace), but my dream is that my countrymen should get permanent houses.

Kejriwal was quick to respond, taking a dig at Modi’s reference to a sheeshmahal. He said, Mention of a sheeshmahal doesn’t sound appropriate coming from someone who built a house worth Rs 2,700 crore for himself, flies on a plane worth Rs 8,400 crore, and wears suits worth Rs 10 lakh.

The AAP convenor further dealt blows to the BJP for failing to deliver on promises made to Delhi residents. Kejriwal highlighted that the BJP’s 2020 manifesto had assured pucca houses for all in Delhi by 2022. However, he pointed out that only 4,700 homes had been handed over in five years.
