Hyderabad: Astrologer Simhambhatla Subba Rao brushed aside the ill-effect theory. “In fact, the impact of seven-year Saturn on both, AP CM N. Chandrababu Naidu and TS CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao, ended on the very first day of the Pushkaralu (both CMs are Pisceans). For both, Guru Mahadasa is going on now, they will be more dynamic while executing their pet schemes and projects, and the astronomical predictions of both CMs is that both will live long and will complete their full terms,” he said.
Astrologer Mantha Suryanarayana Sarma disagrees with Mr Subba Rao. “CM means king. Right from the formation of AP, the CMs were not performing their raja dharma. As kings, they need to follow dharma and satisfy prime sections of society and regularly conduct some rituals to nullify any ill-effects to the state, which they have been ignoring all these years. They need to conduct Kratuvu (rituals like yagam) at all the rivers so that society benefits and nature also cooperates; since that was not done, the CM lost their jobs,” he said.
He added, “I strongly believe Mr Naidu will step down from his post after a few months for a brief period and again become CM. This is due to his involvement in some criminal acts like the cash-for-vote scam. It is all superstition and nothing else. The CM or for that matter, any minister getting the job or losing it, it all depends on their Graha Yogam and it certainly does not depend on taking a dip in the Godavari,” said astrologer Srinivasa Gargeya.
He added that there was a belief that Prime Ministers who took oath on Saturday did not complete their five year term, but Mr Manmohan Singh proved them wrong by continuing for another five years. “I strongly believe that there will be no ill-effects on Mr Naidu due to taking the holy dip. But he will face some trouble because he conducted important rituals for the capital city of Amaravati in the inauspicious Jyeshta Masam,” he added.
