Arvind Kejriwal, the outgoing Chief Minister of Delhi, is set to vacate his official residence at Civil Lines within two weeks. This move comes after his resignation from the top post. As he steps down, Kejriwal will also relinquish all government perks that came with being the Chief Minister

"Arvind Kejriwal has decided that he will vacate his house (CM residence) within a week. There are concerns over his security, there have been several attacks on him. We tried to make him understand that there is security issue, BJP people have attacked him and that this house is necessary from security point of view. However, he decided that God will protect him," AAP MP Sanjay Singh informed media persons on Wednesday.

After leaving the residence, Kejriwal and his family plan to stay in Delhi, and a search is underway for a suitable new home.

As the Chief Minister, Kejriwal enjoyed several government perks, including a rent-free official residence, higher salary than other MLAs, free medical treatment, tight security, travel reimbursements, and 5,000 units of free electricity per month. 

His official residence, located at 6, Flagstaff Road, Civil Lines, Delhi, is a two-story building with a small garden and office space. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had slammed Kejriwal in the past over the renovation of the official bungalow -- dubbed it as 'Sheesh Mahal' -- using government funds. 

Before becoming the Chief Minister, Kejriwal lived in Ghaziabad's Kaushambi area. During his first two terms, he resided in a house on Tilak Lane in central Delhi. After the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) 2015 assembly polls victory, he moved to the Flagstaff Road residence.

AAP leader Atishi has taken over as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, following Kejriwal's resignation. Kejriwal's departure marks a significant shift in Delhi's politics, amidst ongoing controversies and allegations.
