New Delhi, Oct 26 (TIWN) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include the pictures of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on the currency notes.

The Delhi Chief Minister clarified that he was not asking to change currency notes, instead was requesting for new currency notes to include pictures of Lakshmi and Ganesh. “Everyday new currency notes are printed. These pictures can be added then,” Kejriwal said, adding that the two gods were associated with prosperity. 

“Indonesia is a Muslim majority country and has only 2-3 percent Hindus and they have Ganesh ji’s photo on their currency…when Indonesia can do why can’t we do,” Kejriwal said while addressing a press conference in the National Capital.
