Arvind Kejriwal demands Lakshmi, Ganesh on currency notes, but social media users post his ‘anti-Hindu’ remarks

New Delhi: While Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday, demanded that photos of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh must also be carried on Indian currency notes besides Gandhi ji, BJP was quick to point out that his pro-Hindu tone was a result of people snubbing him for his stern stance on Diwali fire crackers as also aimed at the coming state assembly elections.

Taking to Twitter, BJP and social media users slammed the Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor for his anti-Hindu remarks made earlier.

‘Kejriwal trying to break his Aurangzeb image’

Soon after Kejriwal made appeal about the photos on currency note, BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga shared a clip on Twitter where he needled the Delhi CM saying: “Kejriwal tried to send Hindu kids in jail for bursting crackers, Hindus give befitting reply. Now just to break his Aurangzeb image @ArvindKejriwal trying to become Hindu.”

Last week, the Delhi government had announced that anybody bursting firecrackers in Delhi till January 1, 2023 can be fined Rs 200 and jailed for up to six months.
