“In the recent days, the central government had allotted me a house on the orders of the court, given my position as the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party. I have now shifted to that house along with my family,” he said.
Court Directive Led To Allotment At Lodhi Estate
The allotment of a Type 7 bungalow at Lodhi Estate followed directions from the Delhi High Court, amid pressure on the Centre to provide official accommodation to the AAP leader.
The residence, located at 95 Lodhi Estate, is part of Delhi’s elite government housing pool and was allotted after a prolonged legal tussle.
What Is A Type 7 Bungalow?
In the capital’s government housing hierarchy, Type 7 (Type VII) bungalows are among the largest official residences. These are typically allotted to top-ranking bureaucrats, senior officials, or leaders of recognised national parties.
They rank just below Type 8 bungalows reserved for Union Cabinet ministers and offer significantly larger space and amenities compared to housing allotted to MPs or mid-level officers.
