Delhi Government had made a request for a suitable accommodation in Central Delhi for its Chief Minister.

Though the Delhi government has a few bungalows in its possession at DDU Marg and Shamnath Marg, Mr Kejriwal has preferred for a house in the central Delhi given his Gole Market constituency in the area.

Earlier Mr Kejriwal was allotted two duplex apartments at Bhagwan Dass Road but he declined the accommodation after controversy erupted over it.

The house has been handed over to PWD of Delhi government and now it will be responsible for its maintenance, sources added.
