NEW DELHI, 27 February (H.S.) : Delhi Minister Parvesh

Verma said an inquiry will be done into the “Sheesh-Mahal” controversy to find

out how much government money was spent in the renovation of the official

residence of former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The PWD Minister Said, “A

grand Chief Minister’s residence at 6 Flagstaff Road, called ‘Sheesh-Mahal’ by

the BJP, built three years ago under the AAP government, its reconstruction and

on what basis the authorities allowed such expenses will be investigated.” When

CAG report discussed in the House, Delhi Minister Pravesh Verma said,

currently, it seems that entire Delhi has been damaged. The cost of the

Barapula project has already doubled from the sanctioned amount because there

was no follow-up from the government. The company working on that project has

told me that in the last 10 years no minister has come for follow-up.

Similarly, the cost of many projects has doubled due to no follow-up. On the

CAG report, he said, we will discuss the scam of Rs 2000 crore that has taken

place, ‘Sheeshmahal’ will also be investigated.
