Guj politicians take to astrology

A restless and impatient Gujarat Finance Minister Vajubhai Vala has been waiting at the Surat collectrate for the last 15 minutes. Patel, who is here to file his nomination papers for coming assembly polls, is waiting for the clock to strike 12:39 pm

But it’s still not the right time for him to put in his signature. When it’s finally 12:39 pm, he hands his nomination.
“I had consulted my astrologer and he had advised me to file my papers at 12:39 pm as it is the Vijay mahurat and will ensure victory for me,” says Vajubhai.

And Vajubhai is not the only one. His cabinet colleague miles away in Rajkot too filed his nomination papers at the same time. But gave a different logic for it.

“Lord Ram killed Ravan at 12:39 pm. The time signifies victory of good over evil. Therefore I file my nomination papers at 12:39 pm,” says Minister, Water Resources, Narottam Patel.
But it’s not the BJP alone, even Congress nominees did the same. But what do astrologers have to say about the Vijay mahurat?
