Poll predictions!

With just under two weeks left for the results of the world’s largest democratic election, poll predictions are flying thick and fast.

Will Narendra Modi retain power at the Centre or will Rahul Gandhi win the battle? Can KCR spring a surprise on the Third Front? Can Jagan Mohan Reddy turn the tables in AP or will Chandrababu Naidu retain power?

Even as speculation runs rife over who will emerge victorious, it’s a busy time for psephologists, numerologists and astrologers, who have already started making their own prophecies.

Narendra Modi will retain power and face no political setback till 2029. Considering his planetary positions, despite Suryudu, Budhudu and Kethuvu in one Raashi, Modi has Prajapathi yogam and Chakravarthy yogam, which makes him unstoppable for the next decade. Chandrababu Naidu is poised to retain power in Andhra Pradesh. The Surya (Aditya) graham is going very strong. This gives Naidu more power to command and will once again make him a strong leader in the State.

Narendra Modi’s Shukrudu and Shani are in 10th position. Shukrudu has the ability to give great positions while Shani will only further boost his supremacy. Modi is poised to be the Prime Minister again. Due to the super influence of Surya Graham, Chandrababu will come into power again in AP. KCR’s Third Front will be a distant dream for now.  Rahu Mahardasa and Kethu Anthardasa are KCR’s planetary positions. These obstacles won’t help him prosper beyond the existing supremacy. Kalvakuntla Kavitha will also have a tough time. Gurudu and Kujudu are in second place, and Kavitha currently has Rahu Mahardasa and Guru Anthardasa, She doesn’t have Guru’s support.

The next Prime Minister will be the one who is born between 1949-1956. Even if the Congress-lead Mahagathbandhan wins, Rahul Gandhi cannot become the PM, neither can Mayawati and Mamatha Banerjee. But someone like Shashi Tharoor or Chandrababu Naidu could spring a surprise. Uranus and Pluto are in extremely powerful positions on results day. Hence, someone who was born in that belt (1949 -1956) will call the shots. Looks like Modi's planets are extremely powerful.

K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s TRS party is set to romp home with a landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections. KCR’s date of birth (February 17) and his numerological auspicious day is one, and both are best buddies. Also, the polling day (April 11) and the result day (May 23) favour KCR’s birthday as per numerology charts. This pushes him to a new voyage in his political career. However, it will be a close contest at the Centre, with Narendra Modi having better chances of winning. Interestingly, Nitin Gadkari may occupy a position of authority in the government and will likely rise to a better Cabinet rank.

Vemuri Sri Harsha, Astrologer
Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to be the next Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh because his planetary positions indicate Simha Lagnam. Further, he has Gurudu, Rahu and Suryudu in 5th place with Budha Mahardasa and Guru Anthardasa currently running. Since Shani, who is in 10th position, is the Adhipathi for this Telugu New Year (Vikari Nama Samvatsaram), Jagan has greater chances of winning. Similarly, Rahul Gandhi currently has Kuja Mahardasa and Kethuvu as Anthardasa. Since Kethuvu helps individuals to be better educated and flourish, people might think wisely and vote Rahul into power.

Kujudu, Budhudu and Sukurudu are in 11th position for Jagan Mohan Reddy. The combination of these three — Budhudu enables good behaviour, Kujudu helps beat the competition and Sukurudu facilitates high positions, so Jagan will come into power. Further, Suryudu, Guru and Rahu are in 12th position. Since Rahu is the Nakshatradhipathi coupled with the influence of Gurudu, Jagan will get the opportunity to govern people. Rahul Gandhi has Kethuvu in Lagnam. This aspect in the horoscope will help him win people’s acclaim and take him to a bigger position where he can dictate the terms.

The planetary positions of the respective parties’ chiefs can’t determine the outcome of poll predictions. But whichever party comes into power, the country is going to face issues like enmity with neighbouring countries in the next three months. Since Bharata Kandamu (Indian subcontinent) is in Makara Raasi, the country will have to face issues like explosions and fire accidents, tussle between political leaders (CM and PM), lack of cordial relations between center and various states, etc. This will give foreign countries a chance to take us on.
