The recently held Delhi elections saw the BJP unseat the Aam Aadmi Party, winning 48 seats in the February 5 polls. The AAP lost the mandate, winning just 22 of the 70 seats.

Preparations are currently underway for the formation of the BJP government in Delhi, with the choice of chief minister set to be announced on Wednesday, followed by oath-taking on Thursday.

When Kejriwal was the Delhi CM, he received a monthly salary of Rs 60,000 and a total of Rs 1.25 lakh, including other allowances. However, since he is out of power, he is not entitled to any salary. He can request government accommodation since he has served as a chief minister. He is also entitled to receive a pension as a former MLA.

In February 2023, some changes were brought about in the salary structure of the Chief Minister, MLA and former MLAs in Delhi. As per the Delhi Assembly website, former MLAs of Delhi receive a pension of Rs 15,000 every month. If an MLA wins more than once, then their pension is increased by Rs 1,000 per month.

Former chief ministers of Delhi are also entitled to many facilities. As a former CM, Kejriwal will receive government accommodation and a government vehicle with a driver. Apart from telephone and internet facilities, he will also receive a travel allowance. The former CM and his family will also receive free medical facilities.
