Solar eclipse and snake: Bad omen for Karnataka's Deputy CM Laxman Savadi?

A snake was spotted in Karnataka Deputy CM Laxman Savadi's official residence in Bengaluru a few days ago. And with the solar eclipse that was witnessed on December 26, the astrologers have warned Savadi claiming that bad omen is about to strike. Laxman Savadi was inducted into the Cabinet despite losing his seat from Athani due to pressure from top leaders in BJP who wanted Savadi to keep a check on BS Yediyurappa's rising clout.


With the existing political situation in the BJP which has only given more muscle to BS Yediyurappa after the by-election results in Karnataka, his contemporary and Deputy CM Laxman Savadi may be feeling jittery.

A snake was spotted in his official house recently. And with the solar eclipse on December 26, the astrologers have predicted imminent problems for Savadi.

With 12 BJP candidates winning the the by-election for 15 seats under Yediyurappa's leadership and mounting pressure from newly-elected MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi and Ballari MLA B Sriramulu, the fate of few leaders in the Karnataka Cabinet is hanging in balance. One among them is Savadi.

In 2018 Assembly elections, Savadi lost to Mahesh Kumthalli. Kumthalli belongs to Ramesh Jarkiholi camp from Gokak and is said to be lobbying for deputy CM's post for Jarkiholi.
