Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has canceled the office allotment to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party, stating it was made in clear violation of rules, as powers on land in the national capital are vested with the Centre.
Mr Baijal had also sought opinion of the Public Works Department on the issue, which gave an opinion that the accommodation was allotted violating the rules.
The allotment of the accommodation was one of the irregularities pointed out by a three-member panel, headed by former CAG VK Shunglu, constituted by the then LG Najeeb Jung to examine files related to the decisions taken by the AAP government.
In November 2015, the AAP government had approved a policy for land allotment to state parties. The Kejriwal government then alloted a bungalow to the AAP on Rouse Avenue early last year.
