GUWAHATI: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has been evicted from her official residence two days after she moved there, the Aam Aadmi Party claimed on Wednesday, October 9 while alleging that Lt Governor Vinai Saxena "forcibly removed" her belongings from the official home "at the behest of the BJP."

"For the first time in the history of the country, the Chief Minister's residence was vacated. At the behest of the BJP, the Lt Governor forcibly removed Chief Minister Atishi's belongings from the Chief Minister residence," the Chief Minister Office or CMO alleged, according to reports.

Visuals showed several cartons and luggage being taken out of the official residence.

Earlier in the day, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said that officers were not allotting the bungalow to Atishi and her camp office there was also vacated.

Atishi shifted to bungalow number 6 on Flagstaff Road in north Delhi's Civil Lines on Monday, days after her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal - who occupied the home for more than nine years - vacated it.

In a war of words, the BJP claimed that the bungalow was yet to be handed over to the PWD for fresh allocation.

Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, sharing a purported PWD letter dated October 6,  alleged that Mr Kejriwal "did not vacate his bungalow" and that most of his belongings are still there.

The letter, addressed to the special secretary of the Chief Minister's Office, said,  "It is brought to your attention that the keys of the house at 6, Flag Staff Road handed over to PWD were taken back after some time and are yet to be handed over to PWD to complete the process of handing over".

The AAP, meanwhile, has accused the BJP of trying to "usurp" the Bungalow.  Sanjay Singh alleged that the bungalow was "yet to be allotted", claiming the BJP was spreading "lies" on the issue despite documentary proof of Kejriwal vacating the bungalow.
