**New Delhi:** Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal has been accused of hypocrisy for his recent move into a luxurious Lutyens bungalow, after previously criticizing lavish living and occupying a remodeled government mansion dubbed “Sheesh Mahal” in Civil Lines. This comes after Kejriwal’s party, funded by taxpayers’ money in Delhi and Punjab, has been criticized for its focus on publicity.

Kejriwal’s new abode, a sprawling mansion, was gifted to him by Rajya Sabha member Ashok Mittal, a prominent educationist and owner of a successful family-run mithai shop. Mittal’s private university, established with large tracts of land along the GT Road, is a testament to his business acumen. Kejriwal’s appointment of Mittal to the Rajya Sabha raises eyebrows about potential quid pro quo arrangements.

This latest revelation fuels criticism that Kejriwal has succumbed to the temptations of power, abandoning his initial image as a man of the people. His previous claim of residing in a modest flat, used as a launchpad for the AAP’s “revolution,” now appears to be a mere facade. Critics point out that the party’s recent decline in popularity could be attributed to this perceived disconnect between Kejriwal’s rhetoric and his opulent lifestyle.

This incident highlights the growing concerns about the AAP’s commitment to its core values of honesty and accountability, raising further questions about the party’s future and its ability to retain public trust.
