BJP protests crores spent on renovation of Kejriwal’s ‘palatial bungalow’, AAP plans counter

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The BJP and AAP continued to spar over renovation of Delhi Chief Minister’s official residence on Thursday, with the leaders of saffron outfit staging a protest with a replica of a mansion alleging crores of rupees were spent on the “palatial bungalow”.
Kejriwal, reacting for the first time over the issue, shared a video on his tweeter handle saying “Delhi public’s answer to the BJP….What does Delhi public say on the row over Rs 45 crore spent on Kejriwal’s bungalow.”
The AAP will stage a massive protest on Friday against the ‘country’s ruler’ for “wastage” of taxpayers money, senior party leader Raghav Chadha said.

Leading the protest by Delhi BJP near Delhi Chief Minister’s residence, Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said “the fate of Mahmmood Ghaznavi and Muhammad Ghori who looted Delhi, awaits Kejriwal one day at the hands of the people of Delhi.”
The BJP has been assailing the AAP and Kejriwal over Rs 45 crore spent on renovation of Chief Minister’s residence at 6, Flagstaff Road in Civil Lines area.
The BJP protesters started a march from Chandagi Ram AKhara, where a replica of a mansion was kept symbolising renovated “bungalow” of the Chief Minister and a party worker sitting in front of it wearing a mask of Kejriwal.
Addressing the protesters, Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari alleged Kejriwal has covered his house with curtains of Rs 1.5 crore but his “double faced character” has been exposed in front of the people of Delhi.
Former Union minister Harsh Vardhan said that the BJP will continue its struggle until the people of Delhi are freed from a “dishonest and corrupt” Chief Minister.

Hitting at the BJP, Chadha took swipe at the Prime Minister without naming anyone.
A new chapter has been added to the story of “King” and the AAP will stage a massive protest against the “luxurious lifestyle” on the hard earned money of the people, Chadha said.
“When this king travels the world at the expense of the taxpayers, he does so in a private aircraft that costs the citizens of the country Rs 8400 crore. When this king travelled the world at the cost of taxpayers in the last couple of months, it cost his government Rs 1500 crore,” he said.
When a generic repair work was to be done in the official residence of this king, this was only done with the purpose of beautification of the space, it cost the government exchequer Rs 90 crore, Chadha alleged.

Vaccine tycoon Poonawala longing for 8 years to occupy his ‘palatial’ Mumbai home

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Billionaire vaccines tycoon Cyrus Poonawala is keen to move into his palatial Mumbai home which has been stuck in bureaucratic hassles for the past eight years.
As per certain media reports, Poonawala, 81, the Chairman of Serum Institute of India Ltd (SII) had bought the property from the US Government, which was running its Mumbai Consulate there till 2011.
The US government had purchased it in 1957 on a 999-year lease from the last ruler of Wankaner, Maharana Raj Shri Pratapsinhji Saheb of the Jhala Dynasty.

Wankaner was a princely state (located in modern-day Gujarat, near Morbi) founded in 1620, and the last Maharana built his luxurious royal Mumbai home in 1933.
The sprawling property spread over two acres on the Arabian Sea shore with a built-up area of around 50,000 sq. feet, known as Wankaner House, was renamed ‘Lincoln House’, and the US Consulate functioned there till November 2011.
A few years after the Mumbai mission moved to a bigger premises in the Bandra Kurla Complex, the US government and Poonawala struck a deal of around Rs 750 crore for the property in the posh Breach Candy area of south Mumbai.
Later, it transpired that the ownership of the land was unclear with both the Maharashtra government and the Ministry of Defence staking claim, and the deal was kept on hold, and the Indian and US governments are attempting to iron out the differences.
A miffed Poonawala told a foreign publication that “the government of India is not providing any rationale for holding it up”, and suspects that it doesn’t want the huge amount (around $120 million) to go to the US.

Although officials are not ready to comment, the green signal is probably stuck owing to a technicality pertaining to the notice of the sale within a specified time-frame on the transfer of the lease rights.
Until the deal is cleared – probably by the PMO – Poonawala will continue to live in his Pune home and long to possess and occupy the palatial house worth a fortune in Mumbai.
