Kejriwal's remarks on wanting pics of Hindu deities on currency notes upset Muslim community, others call him Girgit!

In what can be called "what is he exactly trying to do", Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consider including the images of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh on currency notes in India to "improve the economic situation of the country".

 

 

"Today I appeal to the central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On Indian currency there is a photo of Gandhi ji, let that be, on the other side of currency, a photo of Shri Ganesh Ji and Lakshmi ji should be put.

 

 

"As I said we have to make lot of effort to improve the economic situation of our country. But also with that, we need blessings from 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," Kejriwal said in his address.

"If Indonesia can do it; choose Ganesh Ji, so can we... I will write to the centre tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to appeal for it... we need the almighty's blessings apart from the efforts to settle the economic condition of the country," Kejriwal said. Notably, Lord Ganesha is inscribed on the 20,000 rupiah note of Indonesia.

 

Such statements came after AAP Gujarat Chief Gopal Italia and leader Rajendra Pal stirred controversy by passing derogatory remarks against Hindu gods and anti-Hindu statements. Netizens claimed that as elections are coming, he wants to play it for Hindus!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, this might have angered the Muslim community, or you can Kejriwal's vote bank always tries to woo his Muslim voters to gain political stability.

Others even questioned him for scientific solutions to improving the economic situation of the country
