Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will vacate his official Tilak Lane residence by next Moday/Tuesday.Earlier, Delhi Public Works Department had sent a letter to him, asking him to vacate the house immediately as he had already crossed the 15-day deadline a Minister gets to stay at the official residence after demitting office.
As per rules, former ministers can stay in official residences free of cost for 15 days after demitting office. Afterwards, if they choose to stay there (maximum of six months), they are required to pay rent much higher than market rates.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader, who had resigned as Chief Minister on February 14, should have vacated the flat by March 1. The PWD sent the letter to him after the Urban Development Ministry sent a notice asking the Delhi Government to return the flat.Arvind Kejriwal had sought an extension to stay at his Tilak Lane residence till his daughter’s examinations get over in May.
Delhi Government had recently asked former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to pay up Rs 3.25 lakh as rent for overstaying in her official bungalow, and had it initiated the process to vacate official residences still under possession of the two former Congress ministers.
