Astrology, palmistry and Vaastu play crucial roles in the lives of celebrities and politicians. Thus, it wasn’t surprising that when Jagat Prakash Nadda became the BJP President,
the Vaastu of his residence gained immediate attention. His large bungalow is located strategically at 7-B Motilal Nehru Marg, the corner of the Janpath roundabout in Delhi. Opposite the house is the Lal Bahadur Shastri Museum, which is dedicated to the late Prime Minister, and adjacent to the museum is the residence of Congress’ President Sonia Gandhi. Before the party presidentship, the entrance and exit to Nadda’s home were from Motilal Nehru Marg. This was deemed to be inauspicious by the Vaastu expert, as it faced south. The politician was immediately advised to make a change. The original gate to the bungalow was blocked, and a new one, which opened on to Janpath, quickly constructed. Now the gate faces east, which is considered propitious. When political stakes are high, and one is an integral part of the ruling regime, no chances can be taken. Everything has to work according to the planets, stars, and directions. It may be deliberate or a coincidence that one of the first things that the new President did was to change the political direction of the party. He appointed new General Secretaries to enable the BJP chalk out a new path! G
