Astrologer declares newborn will become a politician, parents hold elections to name him

Elections to name a newborn? Couple believes astrologer's say that he will grow up to be a politician

The newborn's parents Mithun and Mansi took the horoscope advise of the astrologer way too seriously, when they could not finalise the name for their son. The couple in Maharashtra arranged for an election to select and finalise a name to christen him with. The ballot paper had three names Yaksh, Youvik and Yuvaan and the relatives and friends invited for the naming ceremony had to vote for any of the names in the ballot paper.

The parents had banners inviting all to cast their vote, with ballot paper and secret voting machines arranged inside the house.

While counting, Yuvaan got the most votes and the child was named thus on June 15 by the parents.
