At a time when election managers of political parties are scratching their heads over the possible outcome of the polls in the State, the predictions of a well-known astrologer has generated great interest among people and panic in the ruling BJD.
This is despite the fact that astrology has been as bad as psephology when it comes to poll predictions.Jyotirvid Pramod Patra predicts a hung Assembly and fall of the Naveen Patnaik-led BJD Government.
He also says Narendra Modi may not make it to the Prime Minister’s position and that there will be a re-election in the country before May 2017.Patra says there will be hung legislatures both in Odisha and at the Centre and alliance governments both in the State and at the Centre as no party will get absolute majority. He predicts that Naveen Patnaik will lose popularity due to malefic planetary positions in his horoscope.
“Taking the planetary positions of Patnaik’s horoscope into consideration, there is a bad period from April 23, 2014 to July 26, 2014 which indicates that there is every possibility that he would not be able to remain in power,” Patra claims.
The astrologer says the BJD is likely to win in 58 Assembly seats while there is a possibility that the Congress and the BJP might get 40 to 45 seats each and the newly-formed Aama Odisha Party at least four Assembly seats.
“The coalition Government in Odisha and at the Centre would be formed with support from the Congress,” says Patra.
