In a controversial move, authorities forcibly vacated the Chief Minister’s residence at 6 Flagstaff Road in Civil Lines. The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) claims that the BJP requested this action, alleging that Lt. Governor V. K. Saxena intends to allocate the residence to a BJP leader.
Currently, LG office has not responded to these serious accusations. Consequently, the lack of a statement from these parties adds to the tension surrounding the situation.
Furthermore, the CMO revealed that officials removed belongings of Delhi Chief Minister Atishi from the residence. This property was previously occupied by her predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal. The CMO suggests that plans are in place to hand over the bungalow to a significant BJP figure.
Earlier, AAP MP Sanjay Singh raised concerns about this issue. He stated that officials blocked the allocation of the bungalow to CM Atishi. Additionally, he mentioned that her camp office had also been vacated. This series of events raises important questions about the motives behind these actions and their legality.
In response to these developments, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva commented on the sealing of Kejriwal‘s ‘Sheesh Mahal’. He questioned the secrecy surrounding the bungalow, asking, “What secrets are hidden in that bungalow that you attempted to enter without handing over the keys to the appropriate department?”
Moreover, Sachdeva highlighted the drama surrounding the removal of belongings, stating, “You staged quite a drama by removing your belongings in just two small trucks.” His remarks underscore the escalating tensions between the parties involved.
Sachdeva further emphasized, “Everyone knows the bungalow is still in your possession. Your attempt to hand it over to Atishi is unconstitutional. She has already been allotted a bungalow, so how can she take yours? There are many secrets hidden in that bungalow.”
As this political saga continues to unfold, many speculate about its implications for Delhi’s governance. The motivations behind these controversial decisions remain unclear. Thus, as the situation develops, the public is watching closely, seeking transparency and accountability from both the AAP and the BJP in this ongoing drama.
Kolkata: On Friday, January 10, 2026, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha members demonstrated against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her actions after the ED raids at the I-PAC office and its chief Pratik Jain's home. | In relation to an alleged coal smuggling case that stretches back a few years, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) office and Pratik Jain's home on Loudon Street in Kolkata on Thursday, January 8, 2025. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a protest against the ED raids on I-PAC after the raid set off a political storm in the state. Why is a chief minister endorsing Pratik Jain, and who is he? Pratik Jain, a political strategist and co-founder of I-PAC, is a graduate of IIT Bombay. He is credited with helping I-PAC grow into one of the most significant political consulting organizations in India. I-PAC was established in 2015 and offers services like data-driven campaign management, support for governance, and voter outreach initiatives. It has collaborated with a number of Indian political groups throughout the years, notably West Bengal's Trinamool Congress (TMC). I-PAC reportedly collaborates closely with Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, and his office. The company oversees the IT and media division of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC and is in charge of creating its election campaigns. Mr. Jain was in charge of the Trinamool Congress's IT cell, according to Ms. Banerjee. According to his LinkedIn page, Jain, an engineering graduate from IIT Bombay, started his career as an analyst at the consulting firm Deloitte. He was one of the first members of Citizens of Accountable Governance, which later evolved into I-PAC. Arvind Kejriwal, M.K. Stalin, Jaganmohan Reddy, Uddhav Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi, and Nitish Kumar are just a few of the prominent figures with whom the political consultancy firm has collaborated.…
