This claim behind building the guest house
According to the indian Express report, a government official said that delhi needs a guest house where dignitaries can stay. He said, "Delhi does not have a guest house like other states. Considering its area and location, it is being considered to convert it into a guest house." This residence is in the Civil Lines area where raj Bhavan, delhi Legislative assembly and secretariat are located. The official also said that in the 90s, a nearby property 33 Sham Nath Marg was made a state guest house. But after three-four years this idea was abandoned and since then there is no state guest house in Delhi. kejriwal lived in this bungalow from 2015 to 2024. At the same time, the bungalow at 6 Flag Staff Road in which kejriwal used to live was built in 1942. kejriwal shifted to this residence with his family in 2015. His family was living in it till october 2024. AAP had decided to repair it citing the roof collapse during the 2020 monsoon.
