Netizens Crack 'Vaastu' Jokes As Raghav Chadha Quits AAP With 6 RS MPs On Day Kejriwal Shifts To New Bungalow

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has moved into a newly allotted government residence at 95, Lodhi Estate in New Delhi. The shift comes at a time when the party is witnessing significant internal developments, prompting both political reactions and a wave of humour on social media.

The party confirmed on Friday that Kejriwal has relocated with his family to a Type-VII government bungalow allotted by the Centre. Sharing the update on X, he said the accommodation was provided following court directions, considering his role as AAP's national convenor.

"In the last few days, the Central government allotted me a house on the orders of the court, given my position as the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party. I have now shifted to that house with my family," he wrote.

Lodhi Estate is among the capital's prominent government housing zones, typically designated for senior politicians and top officials.

Notably, the move coincided with major political churn within Aam Aadmi Party. Around the same time, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha resigned from the party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, reportedly along with several other leaders. The development has been seen by observers as a significant setback for AAP in recent months.

As both developments unfolded, social media users were quick to link the timing of Kejriwal's house move with the party's internal turmoil, sparking a flood of memes and jokes—many centred around "vaastu" (traditional architectural beliefs).

One user joked, "Ye bunglow bunglow khel raha hai, wahan party khatam ho gayi," while another wrote, "Grih pravesh karte hi party ki Lanka lag gai." A third quipped that Kejriwal might soon leave the house, and another humorously suggested he should "get the vaastu checked again."

While political analysts focused on the implications of senior leaders quitting AAP, much of the online conversation took a lighter, satirical turn—reflecting how quickly serious political developments can morph into viral content.

The leadership exits come at a crucial juncture for AAP as it pushes for national expansion and gears up for upcoming elections. Whether these departures point to deeper organisational challenges remains uncertain, but the episode has already triggered widespread debate—along with a fair share of online humour.
