Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's demand to include images of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesh on Indian currency notes (ICN) has triggered a series of political reactions as various leaders from different parties such as the BJP, Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), Republican Party of India (K) and others came up with different heroes ranging from Gods and Goddesses to historical icons and freedom fighters who could share space with Mahatma Gandhi on the currency notes.
Kejriwal yesterday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include the pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on the currency notes.
BJP legislators like Nitesh Rane and Ram Kadam demanded the pictures of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Veer Savarkar, among others, on the ICN.
Prominent Congress Dalit leader Nitin Raut demanded to add the image of BR Ambedkar, which was seconded by
Shiv Sena's (UBT) ex-Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar.
"Why not Ambedkar? It's because of him that the country is enjoying the fruits of democracy today," they pointed out.
