Rahul Shewale, Sena MP from Mumbai South Central, said he has written to Google and to the senior BJP leaders, including finance and I&B minister Arun Jaitley and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad seeking their help in getting the doodle.

Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on the Google search's homepage that is intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements and people.
