Naveen turns to astrology
Orissa chief minister Naveen Patnaik, who fought innumerable adverse conditions in 2010, is in touch with some leading astrologers of the state to see that the New Year 2011 passes off peacefully, without giving a handle to the Opposition to put him in further embarrassment.
Born on October 16, 1946, Naveen did not have good time in 2010 because of evil effects of Rahu. Since October 2, 2009, the chief minister has been battling unexpected woes, mostly on issues of corruption, nepotism, because of the wrath of Rahu.
This bad patch, as astrologers point out, will more or less continue although the New Year. Verdicts by the Supreme Court aand Orissa high court have also exposed “illegal” practices by his officers in mining leases and land acquisition for corporate houses.
This apart, allegations of corruption levelled against him by the Congress and BJP, the two major Opposition forces in the state, literally unnerved state establishment and seriously dented his image.
To begin the year on a peaceful note, Naveen did not forget to visit Puri on the New Year’s day to offer prayer before Lord Jagannath.
