Kejriwal, who resigned as the Chief Minister on September 17 after getting bail in the liquor policy case, had said that he would not use any government facilities and vacate the residence during Navratri period. The auspicious Hindu festival commences from Thursday. He will be vacating the official residence of Delhi chief minister at Flagstaff Road in Civil Lines in a day or two.
"Kejriwal will leave the official CM residence in next 1-2 days, as a house has been finalised for him and his family," the party said in a statement without disclosing location of the new accommodation.
