Asked if they had sought permission to visit the residence, Singh and Bharadwaj told reporters, "Why should we need permission to enter the chief minister's residence?"
They were seen speaking to officials at the bungalow, requesting permission to be allowed inside.
"Who has instructed you to stop us? I am a minister and I am here for an inspection. How can you stop me and on whose orders? Have you received directions from the lieutenant governor? He is the only authority above my position," Bharadwaj was heard telling an official.
Addressing a press briefing earlier, Bharadwaj had said, "As promised, we will visit the chief minister's official residence at 6, Flagstaff Road, at 11 am and try to find the golden commode, swimming pool, and mini bar that the BJP claims are present there"
"It should be noted that both these properties are government residences. They were built with taxpayers' money and came up during the Covid pandemic. If there are allegations of misappropriation of funds, both should be investigated," he added.
Singh and Bharadwaj also had said that they would take reporters to the prime minister's residence, which AAP has dubbed "Raj Mahal" and claimed was built at a cost of 2,700 crore.
The "Raj Mahal" jibe is part of AAP's counter allegation that the prime minister leads a luxurious lifestyle.
The 6, Flagstaff Road, bungalow has sparked controversy over alleged irregularities in its renovation and costly fittings and household goods present in it.
The BJP has focussed a big part of its assembly election campaign around these allegations, dubbing the bungalow "Sheesh Mahal".
The saffron party's Delhi chief Virendra Sachdeva has claimed that valuable items, including a "golden commode", were missing after the bungalow was vacated by Kejriwal.
On Tuesday, AAP challenged the BJP to open the prime minister's residence for a media visit to reveal the reality while also offering to take reporters on a tour of the chief minister's bungalow.

HMPV in India: Two more suspected cases in Nagpur, Maharashtra

Two suspected cases of HMPV have been reported in Nagpur, India, prompting reassurance from Union Health Minister JP Nadda. He assures the public that there is no cause for alarm.

Two suspected cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) have been identified in Nagpur. The patients, aged 7 and 13, were found to have tested positive for the virus in a private hospital. Shashikant Shambharkar, Deputy Director of Health, confirmed that both patients have received treatment and have been discharged. Their records are now being sent to AIIMS Nagpur for further examination.
These cases add to the growing count of HMPV infections in India, with previous cases detected in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) confirmed the cases in these regions as part of ongoing surveillance efforts to monitor respiratory illnesses.
Despite these confirmed cases, Union Health Minister JP Nadda reassured the public, emphasizing that there is no cause for concern. He clarified that HMPV, which was first identified in 2001, does not pose a new threat.

 Nadda explained that the virus is airborne and can affect individuals of all ages, with its spread being more prominent during the winter and early spring months.
In his video statement, Nadda stated that the government is closely monitoring the situation. The ICMR and National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) are overseeing developments and ensuring readiness to address any potential health challenges. He also noted that no significant surge in common respiratory viruses has been observed, and the World Health Organization (WHO) is reviewing the situation.
A joint monitoring group meeting was held on January 4 under the Director General of Health Services to evaluate the situation.

HMPV causes hospital crowds in China, cases reported in India. Authorities and experts emphasize preventive measures. Vulnerable groups include children and elderly.

 HMPV cases in India: Doctors say- 'No need to panic'

HMPV surge causes crowded hospitals in China and reported cases in India. Government and health experts focus on prevention and monitoring, ensuring public safety.

China reports a seasonal spike in Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), leading to overcrowded hospitals. India has 7 cases, including 2 in Bengaluru. Doctors confirm it&rsquo;s a mild illness spread by droplets with no specific treatment or vaccine. Government urges calm.

Concerns over overcrowded hospitals in China have been circulating widely on social media, with images showing people in masks and packed waiting rooms. While this has caused some alarm, authorities in China have clarified that the surge in cases is linked to a seasonal spike in Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), assuring the public that there is no cause for panic. In India, eight cases of HMPV have been reported so far, including two infants in Bengaluru and one in Mumbai. The other cases have been identified in Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Salem.
What the Central Government Is Saying The Union Health Ministry has attempted to ease public anxiety, stating that all infected individuals are doing well and none have a recent travel history. The Ministry also reassured that HMPV is not a new virus in India, and there is no evidence of any significant rise in respiratory illnesses this winter. The government emphasized that there is no need for excessive concern over the virus at this time.
Doctors Weigh In To help clarify the situation, Editorji spoke with two prominent medical experts, Dr. Priyankar Pal, a pediatric specialist, and Dr. Arindam Biswas, a consultant physician, who offered valuable insights into HMPV:
Recognizing the Symptoms: According to the doctors, HMPV can present with common symptoms similar to those of the flu, including cough, fever, body aches, and a runny nose. This makes it difficult to distinguish it from other respiratory infections without further testing.
 Who&rsquo;s Most at Risk? Dr. Pal and Dr. Biswas explained that HMPV can be more severe for those at the extremes of age&mdash;children under five and adults over 65&mdash;as well as individuals with existing health conditions like chronic lung or heart disease, diabetes, or weakened immune systems.
 How It Spreads: HMPV spreads through droplets from the nose or mouth, making it highly contagious in close quarters.
 Treatment Options: Unfortunately, there is no specific antiviral treatment for HMPV, nor is there a vaccine. The recommended approach is symptomatic and supportive care, which includes staying hydrated, taking fever reducers, and managing cold symptoms. In more severe cases, patients may require hospital care to monitor respiratory function.
 Preventing the Virus: Doctors suggest basic preventive measures, such as wearing masks, avoiding crowded spaces, and practicing regular hand hygiene.
 Don&rsquo;t Panic Dr. Biswas reassured the public, saying that while HMPV is a common winter virus, it is usually mild and can be managed with simple care. Most individuals recover within about seven days. Dr. Pal emphasized that while the current strain of HMPV is still being studied, it is typically not a cause for long-term concern.
Government Monitoring and Action The Union Health Secretary has taken note of the situation, reviewing the status of respiratory illnesses in the country and the effectiveness of public health measures in managing them. States have been encouraged to increase public awareness about preventive measures and ensure proper surveillance of illnesses like Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI).
The Ministry of Health has reiterated that there is no need to panic and that following basic hygiene practices remains the best defense against the virus.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh Challenges BJP Over 

AAP MP Sanjay Singh has challenged BJP leaders to substantiate their allegations of extravagant renovations, including claims of a "golden toilet," at Arvind Kejriwal&rsquo;s former CM residence.&nbsp;

AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday invited the media for a tour of Arvind Kejriwal's official residence while he was Delhi's chief minister, which the BJP claims was turned into a "Sheesh Mahal" during the AAP chief's stay.
Challenging the BJP over its allegations on the "Sheesh Mahal" issue, Singh asked its leaders to visit the CM's residence at 11 am on Wednesday with the media and prove their claims.
In a press conference, he alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi lived in a "Rajmahal" worth Rs 2,700 crores and challenged the BJP to open it up for a similar visit with the media.
The Rajya Sabha MP alleged that all of BJP -- from the prime minister to his party members -- is running a propaganda campaign over the "Sheesh Mahal".
Kejriwal occupied the 6 Flagstaff Road bungalow amid controversies related to alleged irregularities in its renovation and costly fittings and household goods present in it. He vacated it in October last year after stepping down as Delhi's CM.
The BJP has focussed a big part of its election campaign centred around these allegations, dubbing the bungalow "Sheesh Mahal".
The prime minister, too, during a BJP rally in Rohini last week, hit out at the AAP, saying their allegations that the Centre did not let the Delhi government work was "exposed by the "Sheesh Mahal".
"They claim there is a minibar in the residence, a golden toilet, and even a swimming pool inside. BJP's leaders are spreading lies, and I want the entire nation and Delhi to know the truth," Singh said.
"Show us where is the swimming pool, the minibar and the golden toilet. The people of Delhi and the country deserve to know the truth. I challenge you. Tomorrow at 11 am, let's visit the Chief Minister's residence along with the media and uncover the reality," he said.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has claimed that valuable items, including a "golden commode", were missing after the bungalow was vacated by Kejriwal.

Jitendra Awhad, an MLA and former state minister from the Sharad Pawar faction, also alleged that Sunil Tatkare, the state chief of Ajit Pawar's NCP, urged MPs from their faction to "leave the father and daughter" and join them, referring to Sharad Pawar and his daughter, Supriya Sule.
Raut further alleged that senior NCP leaders Praful Patel and Tatkare had been tasked with orchestrating defections within the Sharad Pawar-led group. Currently, Ajit Pawar&rsquo;s faction has only one Lok Sabha MP, Sunil Tatkare, while the Sharad Pawar faction holds eight seats.
Raut claimed the Ajit-led NCP would only secure Union government posts if they could attract defectors from Sharad Pawar&rsquo;s group. When questioned about the possibility of the two NCP factions reuniting, Awhad dismissed the idea, citing Tatkare&rsquo;s alleged efforts to woo their MPs as evidence of his unwillingness for reconciliation.
Awhad suggested that rumors of a potential reunion between the factions were intended to pressure BJP ally Nitish Kumar by signaling that the BJP could gain support from other political quarters.

 PM Modi, Manmohan Singh didn't use public funds for personal expenses: RTI

A recent RTI response reveals that neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor the late Dr. Manmohan Singh used public funds for Diwali celebrations during their tenures.

An RTI (Right to Information) response has revealed that neither current Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor the late former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh used government funds for Diwali celebrations during their time in office.
The RTI inquiry was filed in November 2024 by Pune-based activist Prafful Sarda, who requested information regarding the annual Diwali festival expenditures by both Prime Ministers. Dr. Singh, who passed away on December 26, 2024, was specifically mentioned in the query alongside PM Modi.
In its response, the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office (PMO) clarified on January 3 that no public funds were allocated for personal expenses of either leader. "Personal expenses of the prime minister are not borne on government accounts. The PMO does not spend any money on the PM's personal expenses," said Parvesh Kumar, Under Secretary and Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) at the PMO.
This clarification comes amid controversy surrounding Prime Minister Modi&rsquo;s gift of a 7.5-carat diamond to US First Lady Jill Biden during his 2023 visit. The gift sparked international debate when US authorities valued the diamond at USD 20,000. However, India&rsquo;s Ministry of External Affairs later clarified that the actual value was far lower, estimating it to be under Rs 2 lakh, as it was lab-grown.
