New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had recently demanded that pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Vighnaharta Ganesh be put on the note. Now the statement of Congress leader Manish Tewari has come on this issue. He said why should there not be a picture of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on the new series of currency notes. There should be great Mahatma Gandhi on one side and Dr Ambedkar on the other. Non-violence, constitutionalism and egalitarianism are merging into a unique union that will fully connect modern Indian talent.

On the other hand, politics has intensified over Kejriwal's demand for Lakshmi Ganesh on notes. Along with the BJP, which is in power at the Center, the opposition Congress and SP have also opened a front against Arvind Kejriwal over this. Haryana Home Minister and BJP's firebrand leader Anil Vij has attacked Arvind Kejriwal by tweeting. He has said that finally, the matter has come on the lips of Kejriwal, the priest of Lakshmi. Anil Vij said that it is just an excuse to print the photo on the note, but before doing everything, Lakshmi will remain in front of her eyes. He surrounded Kejriwal on the issue of corruption and said that he says it is devotion. Kejriwal, your grace is unconventional.

Apart from this, BJP IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya has also surrounded Kejriwal by tweeting. Amit Malviya tweeted that Kejriwal had recently issued a fatwa banning firecrackers in Delhi. He has called Kejriwal a staunch anti-Hindu. At the same time, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has described Kejriwal as an election Hindu and said that he is pretending to be a Hindu.
