Hyderabad: Candidates of all major parties are eager to file their nominations for the May 13 Lok Sabha polls in the state on April 19 and April 22 and 23 — days which they consider auspicious. The filing of nominations will commence on April 18 and end on April 25. The candidates are approaching astrologers and seeking their advice on the favourable date and time to file nominations.

M. Lakshminarisamha Charlu, chief priest at Birla Mandir, said that a few candidates had approached him and he had suggested that they file nominations any day between April 19 and 23, as they were auspicious.

"Auspicious dates will surely influence one's victory. The stars play a powerful role, especially when the intended work is important. The important celestial dates cannot be ruled out." he said.
