Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya has accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of championing RSS and BJP agenda by his advocating of gods' pictures on Indian banknotes.

Speaking to media on the sidelines of a programme of Kushwaha Samaj at the district headquarters on Thursday night, Maurya said, "Arvind Kejriwal neither has knowledge of the Indian Constitution, nor does he know how to respect the secular Indian Constitution. Kejriwal's complicity with BJP and RSS has become clear."

"Kejriwal is speaking only what the RSS is getting him to speak. He is using the language similar to that of BJP's and RSS', good sense should prevail on him," Maurya said, adding, Kejriwal can do anything in his greed for votes.

Maurya said that there are 34 crore deities in the country and even if the government puts two pictures on the currency notes, what would happen to the other deities.

What will happen to other religious leaders in the country? he also asked.
