The stars and the weather do not foretell well for the 15th Lok Sabha poll in April-May.
While April may turn out to be cruel in terms of the mercury, which touches 40 degrees Celsius and beyond in most states of India, crystal-gazers see a turbulent political atmosphere post-poll — one that could be marked by an anarchy-like situation and violence.
The five-phase parliamentary elections begin April 16. “This election is not good for the Indian constitution. The country has seen too much criminsalisation of politics and it does not point to good times ahead,” astrologer Jagannath Mishra, associated with the
Arya Samaj Mandir at Harit Vihar in the capital, said.
Mishra said the smaller parties — especially the state-level ones — could improve their fortunes and the country would possibly see another coalition government.
“The period post-election will be marked by terrorism, treachery and violence,” he warned.
