Kejriwal, who resigned as Delhi chief minister earlier this month, said he would vacate the official Flagstaff Road residence during the Navratri period.

The auspicious Hindu festival commences from the first week of October.

'Arvind Kejriwal will vacate the CM residence soon and search for his new accommodation has been intensified. Kejriwal is prioritising locations near his assembly constituency New Delhi, as he intends to remain connected with the people there,' the AAP said in a statement.

AAP MLAs, councillors, workers as well as the common people are offering him accommodation, regardless of their social, economic, or political background, the party said.

Kejriwal lives with his family, including his wife, children and elderly parents.

The AAP has also demanded that the Central government provide an official accommodation to Kejriwal for holding the president position of a national party.
