PUDUCHERRY: The interplay of both superstition and politics is not anything uncommon with the most logical politicians understood to cling to superstitions.
And therefore it had been from the Union territory of Puducherry on Wednesday when’raahu kaalam’ (the inauspicious period span based on Hindu astrology) compelled a 90-minute fracture in the swearing-in service of newly-elected and loved members of this legislative meeting.
The majority of the politicians cutting across party lines chosen to not swear in throughout the inauspicious rahu kalam between noon and 1.
30pm.
Pro-tem speaker of the legislative meeting K Lakshminarayanan started administering the oath of office into the new MLAs in 10am in the legislative meeting assumptions.
All of India NR Congress founder-leader N Rangasamy has been the very first to be assured as MLA followed closely by MLAs of the party, Congress, DMK and five separate members and three members.
A couple of moments before the clock struck 12, the service was ceased suddenly.
It was later disclosed that the residual MLAs – four BJP MLAs along with an independent MLA – will probably be sworn in later 1.
30pm when the rahu kaalam finished.
Following the inauspicious period span passed, the son-father duo along with BJP members Richard Johnkumar along with A Johnkumar, BJP legislature party leader A Namassivayam, P M L Kalyanasundaram (BJP) and separate MLA P Angalane took the oath.
The Majority of the MLAs took the oath in the name of god.
Believers and non-believers were amazed to remember that nearly half the range of 15th meeting were time MLAs.
Figuring out from the 30 elected members have been elected to the meeting for the very first time.
AINRC has four primary time MLAs while BJP and DMK possess three primary time MLAs each.
Likewise the meeting gets the most independent applicants.
