Congress government survival in India

July 10, 2008

Namaste,

The communist parties have withdrawn support to India's ruling UPA coalition

headed by Congress (I) party.

The birthdata of Congress(I) party is: 1978 January 2, 11:59 am (IST), New

Delhi, India.

The 2008-09 annual Tithi Pravesha (soli-lunar return chart) is cast at: 2007

December 31, 7:12:33 am (IST), New Delhi, India.

Look at the annual Tithi Ashtottari dasa (meant to be used with Tithi Pravesha

charts). Dasa of Mars during 2008 June 15-July 11 brought problems for the

government on account of the nuclear deal with US. The prime minister wanted to

go ahead and the communists were dead against it. They finally pulled the plug,

withdrew support and called for the PM to prove his majority on the parliament

floor. Mars is the 5th lord of power in the TP chart (data above) and he is in

7th house, which is marana karaka sthana for Mars. So there were quarrels in the

coalition and a setback to the powerful position of the party. Mars is also the

lord of the 22nd drekkana and 64th navamsa.

However, look at the next dasa. Dasa of Mercury runs during July 11-Sept 5. In

TP chart, Mercury is the 7th and 10th lord of partnership and governance and he

occupies lagna with lagna lord Jupiter and 9th lord Sun. This dasa is unlikely

to make the government fall. Though there seems to be some doubt about whether

UPA has enough support or not, it is my expectation that UPA will manage to stay

in power through the support of old and new friends.

However, next year's annual TP chart shows big problems. I expect that

Congress(I) will manage to stay in power now, that elections will be held in

next spring (i.e. no early elections) and that Congress(I) will lose

considerable ground in the 2009 elections.

Best regards,

Narasimha
