India has been doing well in digital payments for the past few years. After the emergence of the Covid pandemic, digital payments saw a big rise and people are still using them. From big transactions to small transactions people are using UPI payments and India is standing tall compared to many countries in digital transactions.
Taking forward the push, the Reserve Bank of India(RBI) started the usage of the digital rupee in four major cities. Based on the response the RBI is expected to start the same in other cities. The intention behind the digital rupee is to do away with the use of physical cash.
Once the digital rupee gets into usage totally then people need not carry physical cash and they make the transactions as they are doing now with online payments. But the digital rupee landed in an unwanted controversy on the picture.
After currency was introduced the Indian government has been using the image of Mahatma Gandhi. But the digital rupee has no picture of Gandhi and this started a new controversy. Gandhi's family members lashed out at the RBI and the Indian government.
Tushar Arun Gandhi, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi reacted to the news satirically and thanked the Reserve Bank of India and the Indian government for removing the picture of Gandhi on the digital rupee and he also asked them to remove his pictures from the physical notes too.
His demand to remove the pictures of Bapu from physical notes is a satirical response to what the RBI and Indian government did. His tweet received mixed reactions from netizens. While a few supported him, few netizens asked why not have pictures of freedom fighters on the currency notes.

âThank you RBI and GoI for not including Bapu's image on the newly introduce Digital Currency. Now please remove his image from paper money too,â Tushar said on Twitter.
