Chennai, Nov. 8: A famous Kerala astrologer who had predicted the Obama juggernaut is now insisting that a Congress-led coalition will win the Parliament elections
scheduled early next year.  “The stars are favouring Mrs Sonia Gandhi but the time is not good for Mr Advani. As for Ms Maya-wati, I find her prospects very poor,” said Mr Parappanangadi Unnikris-hna Panicker, whose predictions that Mr Barack Obama would win the Presidential elections came true.

“When I look into India’s horoscope, it shows a lot of political uncertainty. Unprincipled alliances and manoeuvres will dominate our politics. In the midst of all this, I see the Congress emerging as the winner,” Mr Panicker said. His clients include the former Tamil Nadu chief minister, Ms Jayalalithaa, and the former Sri Lanka president Ms Chandrika Kumaratunga.

Mr Panicker has the support of his “rivals”, Dr Attukal Radhakrishnan of Thiruvananthapuram and Chennai-based Lankan astro-consultant Mr K.K. Theventhra Rajh. “The movement of Jupiter between December 2008 and November 2009 is favouring the Congress. The poll will be held early 2009 and that will help the Congress since two is its lucky number (the numbers in 2009 add up to two). Dr Manmohan Singh could be the Prime Minister for some time. Mr Advani’s stars do not show him as PM material,” predicts Mr Rajh. 

According to Mr Radhakrishnan, the BJP is undergoing Kandaka Sani (the worst manifestation of Saturn) and will face unprecedented crises till September 2009, by which time the Parliament elections would have been lost. “Though the Congress too is facing the Saturn effect, it is only ezharai sani (seven-and-a-half-years Saturn), starting late 2009 till 2016, which will not impact the poll prospects early next year,” says Mr Radhakrishnan.
