AAP gets Rs. 27-lakh rent notice from its own Government for illegally occupying office buidling
New Delhi, June 15 (IBNS) : Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been asked by its own Government to pay more than Rs. 27 lakh as rent for the party office building it has been "llegally occupying", an NDTV report said.
The notice has been served by the Public Works Department (PWD) which asks for the payment of Rs. 27,73,802.
According to reports, in April, the civic body had sent notice to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the chief of AAP, asking him to immediately vacate the party office.
The contention of the corporation was that the building was allotted in violation of rules.
NDTV says quoting its sources that Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has cancelled the allotment.
The AAP Government cleared the allotment in 2015 - as part of a policy for allotment of land to state parties - and later gave itself the party office.
The bungalow that the party took up was earlier allotted to Asim Ahmed Khan, then Delhi minister, who was sacked over corruption charges.
AAP has said that it will explore its legal options as other political parties too had been allotted bungalows to use as office space, NDTV says.
