Need Lakshmi, Ganesh Photos On Currency, Says Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi today to print the pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh on new banknotes. He suggested, in his request, that the new banknotes feature a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi on one side and pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh on the other.

According to Mr. Kejriwal, the country will prosper if there are pictures of the two deities on the currency notes.

“Despite making efforts, sometimes our efforts do not fructify if gods and goddesses are not blessing us. I appeal to PM Modi to have photos of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on our currency notes,” he said.

Mr. Kejriwal used Indonesia as an example, a Muslim country that features a depiction of Lord Ganesh on its currency. “Why can’t we if Indonesia can? The images can be printed on new currency “said said.

On Indonesia’s 20,000 rupiah banknote has a picture of Lord Ganesh. The leader of the Aam Aadmi Party promised to write to the Prime Minister about this in the coming days.

With the rupee weakening against the US dollar, he claimed that the situation in the nation was “delicate.” In addition to our attempts to stabilise the nation’s economic situation, Mr. Kejriwal stated, “We need the almighty’s blessings.”

When questioned about the impending elections, the Aam Aadmi Party is running in both the assembly elections in Gujarat and the civic elections in the nation’s capital, according to Mr. Kejriwal.

The city’s people were praised by the chief minister of Delhi for the reduction of pollution this Diwali. We want Delhi to have the cleanest air possible, he declared.
