The Indian economy is under crisis. With the value of rupee crashing substantially in international markets, the price of basic necessities like fuel and vegetables in the country is booming. In short, our country’s economy is in severe danger and needs a long-term solution.
The common man is expecting the government to come up with a consequential solution to deal with the economic crisis soon. Amid much brouhaha over money matters in the country, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has shared his take on the possible potential solutions for the crisis, reports India Today.
Recently during an event, a reporter asked him, “If you were to suggest following the Indonesian practice for the rupee which God you will choose?” reports Business Standard.
To which Swamy replied:
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi can answer this question. I am in favour (of this). Lord Ganesha removes obstacles. I rather say that a picture of Goddess Lakshmi (on currency notes) may improve the condition of Indian currency. Nobody should feel bad about this.”
20000 rupiah note of Indonesian currency features an image of Lord Ganesha, so as per Swamy, a picture of the Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi on Indian currency might work in favor of the country’s economy.
What’s your take on Swamy’s comment? Was it just a hypothetical answer to a circumstantial question or a serious suggestion? Tell us!
