Grabbing Chief Minister post soon? BJP's jab at DK Shivakumar over astrologer tale

India Today  

BJP leader R Ashok taking a dig at Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar questioned whether he would follow the advice of his astrologer to "snatch" the Chief Minister's post. Ashok, who is also the Leader of Opposition, referring to an astrologer who is said to have advised Shivakumar, said, “I meet the same astrologer who told DK Shivakumar to grab the Chief Minister’s chair by January, as his time will not be favourable after that.” He mockingly asked if Shivakumar would “snatch the Chief Minister’s post before or after January.” The comments were made during the Winter Session of the state legislature in Belagavi on Thursday, in response to Shivakumar’s revelation about his previous political induction, inspired by astrological advice. Shivakumar, while offering condolences on the death of former Chief Minister SM Krishna, had shared an anecdote about how he secured a cabinet position as the Urban Development minister in the SM Krishna government from 1999 to 2004. However, the exchange riles up speculations about Shivakumar’s ambitions of becoming the Chief Minister.
