In Lok Sabha speech, PM Modi slams Arvind Kejriwal over ‘Jacuzzi’ and ‘Sheesh Mahal’ lifestyle ahead of Delhi election

Delhi Election 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal, accusing the former chief minister of focussing on ‘jacuzzis’ and ‘showers.’ PM Modi’s remarks while speaking in Lok Sabha, without naming Kejriwal, came a day before Delhi is going to assembly elections.

“Kuch netaon ka focus jacuzzi par, stylish shower par rehta hai, lekin humara focus to har ghar jal pe hai (some people focus on Jaccuzis and stylish showers while our focus has been on har ghar nal (taps in every house),” Modi said replying to Motion of Thanks on President’s Address in Lok Sabha on Tuesday. 

‘Sheesh Mahal Jibe’

In the run up to Delhi Election 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been highlighting the alleged ‘lavish spending’ in the construction of Arvind Kejriwal’s 6 Flagstaff Road residence—’Sheesh Mahal’—when he was chief minister before stepping down in September last year. Lavish washrooms is also one of the allegations against Kejriwal.

“The various steps we took resulted in saving lakhs of crores of rupees, but we did not use that money to build ‘Sheesh Mahal’. We used it to build the country,” Modi said. 

The campaigning for Delhi Elections 2025 ended on Monday evening.
