Sources say that astrologers advised the ruling party to close the northern doors of the Vidhana Soudha, as they believed it would 'eliminate' the Opposition on October 11It looks like the victory for the BJP in the trust vote was not because of the support of MLAs, but because of a change in the Vaastu of the assembly hall, which led them to the quick success within three minutes, despite furor from the opposition parties.
Three days prior to October 11, all gates of Vidhana Soudha were closed except the west gate. All MLAs, MPs and MLCs were asked to enter through that gate.
This arrangement also continued in the assembly hall, as the ruling party had designated one particular door (eastern door) for the entry of the members of the Opposition. But they wanted to enter by another door (northern door) that was closed. This led to the clash between the city police commissioner and the leaders of the Opposition.
Sources say, astrologers had advised ruling party members to close the northern gate for Opposition party members, as it was considered to be lucky. The ruling party wanted the Opposition to enter from the east door, as the door was termed as 'Shatru Samhara' (enemy elimination).
Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari said yesterday that the MLAs, ministers, MPs, MLCs and media will be allowed to enter Vidhana Soudha only through the west gate today, and all other gates will be closed.
An officer who is the security-in-charge of the Vidhana Soudha said that the government believes that entering through the west door is 'entry to successes'.
"The arrangement in the assembly hall will be the same as that of October 11. We have to see what will happens today,' he added.
| Fate of 16 MLAs to be decided today |
| >>The political turmoil is expected to continue until Monday, as BS Yedyurappa's government final fate will be decided only after the High Court gives a final order on the matter challenging the order of the speaker disqualifying the 16 MLAs (these include five independents).
>>This means that even if the BJP wins the trust vote today, it will have to wait for the High Court's order. If it overturns the Speaker's order, then the disqualified MLAs will be allowed to cast their votes. In case the order is upheld, then today's result will be final.
>>The trust vote will be subject to the final disposal of the writ petition in the Karnataka High Court. The five independent MLAs will not be permitted into the House and vote. However, in case the court grants them relief on Monday then their vote can be counted the court also observed.
>>Earlier yesterday, J S Kehar went to Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium and watched the test cricket match for a while before taking up the issue in the afternoon. |
