To Improve the Economic situation of the Country!
New Delhi: On Wednesday, 26 October 2022, Arvind Kejriwal urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring out new currency notes with images of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh.
This will help improve the economic situation of the country, the Delhi Chief minister suggested.
"Today I appeal to the central government and Prime Minister Modi. On Indian currency there is a photo of Gandhi ji, let that be. On the other side, a photo of Shri Ganesh Ji and Lakshmi ji should be added," Mr. Kejriwal said.
"As I said, we have to make a lot of effort to improve the economic situation of our country. Our efforts bear fruit when we have the blessings of Gods and Goddesses. The whole country will get blessings if on currency notes, there is a photo of Ganesh Ji and Lakshmi ji on one side and Gandhi ji on other side," he said.
Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity and Lord Ganesh removes hurdles, said Mr. Kejriwal. "I am not saying change all notes. But all the fresh notes issued every month should have their images."
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief referred to Indonesia - a Muslim nation that has a picture of Lord Ganesh on its currency note. "When Indonesia can, why can't we do this… The photos can be printed on fresh notes," he said.
Lord Ganesh's image is printed on the 20,000 rupiah note of Indonesia.
