Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will have a new residence as he moves into bungalow number 5 on Ferozeshah Road in Lutyens’ Delhi on Friday, just days after stepping down as chief minister. He will be living there with his family.
The bungalow near the AAP headquarters was originally allocated to party Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, Ashok Mittal.
Meanwhile, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia has relocated to a bungalow on Rajendra Prasad Road, which is the official residence of AAP Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh, according to party leaders.

“Kejriwal will move into 5, Ferozeshah Road residence of AAP MP from Punjab Ashok Mittal on Friday,” AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj told reporters at a press conference.
He mentioned that many party leaders, including MPs, MLAs, and councilors, offered their homes to Kejriwal after he decided to vacate 6 Flagstaff Road in Civil Lines, north Delhi, where he had resided as chief minister since 2015, Bharadwaj said.
In a video message, AAP MP Mittal expressed joy upon learning that Kejriwal had chosen his house.
“When he (Kejriwal) resigned as the chief minister, I learned that he had no place to stay… I invited him to be my guest at my Delhi residence, and it brings me great joy that he has accepted my request,” Mittal said.
