Somanna's astrologers have reportedly advised him to seek the Lord's grace if he wants to change his political fortunes.

In August last year, Somanna was defeated in the in Govindrajnagar by polls. He is contesting the ongoing elections to the upper house and his candidature has gone unopposed.

Somanna eportedly has deep faith in the deities of the Hindu pantheon.

"A hassled Somanna reportedly approached astrologers who advised him to appease Lord Hanuman by chanting the chalisa, poojas, darshans of various Hanuman deities and regular visits to the temple," said a source close to Somanna.

"It's time for a comeback," said the source. "Though his way ahead is clear and it is likely that he will sail through smoothly, he continues to abide by astrological advice given to him," he added

"I have advised him to visit a Hanuman temple at least once a day," said Basavraj, Somanna's astrologer. "It is meant to remove all obstacles on his path."

The leader, who, astrologers predict, has gained Guru Bala (due to planet Jupiter's entry), may suffer minor setbacks due to unfavorable positions of planets Shukra (Venus) and Khuja (Mars).

"I have prescribed remedies to ward off ill luck due to unfavorable positions of Shukra and Khuja," added Basavaraj.

"Visiting Hanuman temples and reciting the Hanuman Chalisa will certainly help him. I predict that he soon be back in the cabinet."

"He has deep faith in the deities of the Hindu pantheon," said Vishwanath Gowda, a close aid to the former minister. "We will wait and watch how useful his visits to Lord Hanuman will prove to be."u00a0
