Of almanacs and fate of parties
Political parties organising ‘panchanga sravanam’ (reading of almanac) during Ugadi is a common feature. But siddhantis who read out the predictions for the coming year continue to confuse people.
This could be seen from the manner in which siddhantis predicted good fortunes for all the major political players, the TRS, the BJP and the Congress. Siddhanti at Pragathi Bhavan, predicted a good time for Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao claiming that all eyes in the country would be on him for some of his courageous decisions.
