Two adjacent 5-bedroom duplex houses for Aam Aadmi CM

published on January 2, 2014

NEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will finally settle for two big adjacent duplex houses on Bhagwan Dass Road, nowhere near as grand as the previous chief minister’s residence on Motilal Nehru Marg, but not quite the aam Delhiite home either.

Each of the two duplex flats has five bedrooms and a lawn and put together, will have at least 6,000 sq feet built-up area and 9,000 sq ft ground coverage. Sources in the urban development ministry said this is larger than the area of bungalows allotted to many Supreme Court judges and Union Cabinet ministers in the Lutyens Bungalow Zone (LBZ).

Kejriwal’s impending move to these two fairly large houses is likely to give a handle to the opposition, given his promise that he would live in a flat like a common man. At present, the new CM stays in his Kaushambi flat in Ghaziabad with his family in an Indian Revenue Service ( IRS) flat allotted to his wife.

AAP sources said that Kejriwal would be living in one of the “duplex apartments” while the other would be converted into his camp office. “The 7/7 flat will be the CM’s office while 7/6 would be his residence. He will be shifting there with his wife, two children and both parents. No date for the shifting has been decided till now,” said sources.
