Mr. Mittal is a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab and has been allocated the bungalow at the central Delhi address.
Mr. Kejriwal resigned as chief minister last month saying he would hold the post again only after he gets a “certificate of honesty” from the people of Delhi in the Assembly polls due in February.
