The honourable chief minister of Delhi, Aravind Kejriwal on Wednesday, advised the prime minister Narendra Modi to print images of Hindu deities Goddess Lakshmi and Ganesh on the Indian currency, in the view to enhance the economy of the country and stated the need to improve it.
During a press conference, Kejriwal said, “Efforts become fruitful when you have blessings from gods and goddesses. When you have them, you can receive favourable results for your deeds. Today, I request Modi ji to print Hindu gods Lakshmi and Ganesh on the Indian currency on one side and on the other side, there should be Gandhiji. To improve our economy, we need a lot of effort. Along with it we need blessings of gods and goddesses.”
When asked about how he came up with the idea, Kejriwal said, “Day before yesterday when I was doing Diwali pooja, then it came to my mind that images of Lakshmi and Ganesha should be there on India’s currency notes. I’m not saying that doing this alone will improve the country’s economy. If the currency, which is used by the whole country, will get blessings from God and Goddess.”
Mr. Kejriwal said that the government does not have to change the old notes, but the images should be printed on new currency. He concluded his words, saying, “Indonesia is a Muslim country. Above 85% of the population are Muslims and there are only less than 2% Hindus. But they have image of Ganeshji printed on their notes. We are not talking against anyone. This is about everyone’s and the country’s prosperity.”
