Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Parvesh Verma has accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal of living a life of luxury.

Verma also slammed Kejriwal's recent move to a government bungalow at 95 Lodhi Estate.

He said, "Kal woh 95 Lodhi Estate mein shift hue hain jo bolte the aam aadmi ki tarah rahunga (He shifted to 95 Lodhi Estate yesterday, the same person who said he would live like a common man)."
