Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said a government accommodation would soon be allotted to AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is entitled to one as the chief of a national party.
Rebutting a query at a press conference, Khattar said that as the president of a national party, Kejriwal was entitled to a Type VII bungalow.
However, all Type VII bungalows are now occupied, he added.
"At present, we only have Type V and VI bungalows available, but there is currently no availability of Type VII bungalows. Kejriwal will be allotted a Type VII bungalow as soon as it is available," Khattar said
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been demanding a central government accommodation for Kejriwal, claiming that he is entitled to it as the convenor of a national party.
The party recently sent a letter to the Union Housing Ministry reiterating this demand.
Kejriwal, who resigned as the Delhi chief in September, shifted to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal's official residence at 5 Ferozeshah Road in October.
