Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ram Kadam tweeted photoshopped images of 500 rupees notes. In the photos, Mahatma Gandhi has been replaced with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, who is popularly known as the Chief Architects of the Indian Constitution, freedom fighter Vinayak Savarkar, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He captioned the images, โAkhand Bharatโฆ Naya Bharatโฆ Mahan Bharatโฆ Jai Shree Ramโฆ Jai Mata Di!โ

Kejriwal has suggested including images of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh on currency notes. He has argued that this can be a way to strengthen the economy and has indicated that it can also help prevent the fall of the rupee against the dollar.
BJPโs national spokesperson Sambit Patra, while speaking with reporters, had termed Arvind Kejriwalโs demand as an extension of AAPโs โU-turn politicsโ, and called it hypocrisy. He tweeted, โTill yesterday, those who were threatening to put you in jail for celebrating Diwali, were denying Ram temple, insulting Swastika and Kashmiri Hindus, today they are chanting Ram-Ram and Lakshmi Ganesha by becoming Kalnemi of Kalyug. U-turn is the culmination of politics.โ

Senior BJP leader Manoj Tiwari had also termed the demand as โan attempt to save face ahead of the elections by AAP, which โmisbehavesโ with Hindu gods and goddessesโ. He had also told reporters, โThose who had been opposing the Ram temple, they have brought a new mask.โ

Not only the BJP but also BSP expressed their opinion on Kejriwalโs appeal. The national Coordinator of the Bahujan Samaj Party Akash Anand has also expressed his opinion on Kejriwalโs statement. He tweeted, โCharacter and face! The real form of Kejriwal ji has now come to the fore. Actually, they do not have any face, they mold themselves as per the requirement of the situation. In the Punjab elections, the farmers were friendly and now the Hindutva within them has woken up as Gujarat Elections are around the corner.โ
He added, โWhat a color change party this is. On one hand, they pretend to be Bahujan friendly by putting Babasahebโs picture and on the other side, they talk about changing notes to get votes. A great battle has been fought.โ

Apart from all this, the leader of Maharashtraโs Uddhav faction, Anil Parab, has demanded to put a picture of the late Balasaheb Thackeray on the note.
Simultaneously, Swami Jitendranand Saraswati also issued a statement saying that we do not want Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganeshโs photos printed on the currency. Everyone is worshiped and revered for us. In a secular country, religious leaders do not see any need for this. We will never mind that notes containing images of Goddess Lakshmi and Shri Ganesh go to the lanes of meat and liquor shops. Swami Jitendranand Saraswati said that if your Hindu love is outraged, then quietly hand over the accused of the Delhi riots to the police.

On Kejriwalโs appeal, Sanjay Nirupam said that replacing Mahatma Gandhi from Currency notes is a big insult to him.
The real question is will our economy improve by putting pictures of deities on the note? The price of the Rupee has become an all-time low as compared to Dollar. Our economy has collapsed. Our imports are increasing and foreign reserves are decreasing.
