The Public Works Department (PWD) cancelled the tender for renovation of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta`s official residence on Wednesday. PWD cancelled the tenders for the renovation of Bungalow Number 1, including replacement of electrical wiring, fittings & fixtures and execution of various miscellaneous electrical works.

AAP Delhi President Saurabh Bharadwaj questioned the sudden cancellation, asking if such luxuries were genuinely required, why cancel the tender. "If such luxuries were genuinely required, why cancel the tender? And if they weren`t, why issue it in the first place?" he asked, pressing the Chief Minister to explain the real reason behind the move.

He further said, "A few days ago, reports emerged that Rekha Gupta had got not one but two ministerial bungalows allotted for herself--an unprecedented move, given that earlier ministers were allotted only one bungalow, with portacabins provided for office use. Soon after, the PWD floated a massive tender for the renovation of her bungalow."
