Chandigarh’s House No. 50, Sector 2, a two-acre heritage bungalow that has hosted DGPs, Former Ministers, and the most powerful men of Punjab and Haryana, is now freshly painted and reserved for Arvind Kejriwal to stay during his visits. In a city where your address itself is a statement of power, the ruling AAP says Kejriwal is just a “guest” of CM Bhagwant Mann.
