Judeo OKs Advani rath with goat sacrifice

It’s a Rath with a horoscope, designed as per Vaastu. Before he sent it to Delhi with great fanfare, Judeo did his bit. ‘‘I laid out 101 coconuts on the road and they all broke under the bus tyres amid chants of Bajrangbali ki Jai. A goat was also sacrificed before the bus left for Delhi,’’ Judeo told The Indian Express.

And he’s sure the bus will carry the BJP to victory. He points to its kundli (horoscope): ‘‘My gurudev prepared its kundli. Before I set out on the campaign trail, we found that Rahu had come in the dasha of Shani. So we got a special puja done and re-designed the interiors as per Vaastu. It has not been changed for Advaniji. The Rath will surely be lucky for him too.’’

Judeo’s gift-wrapping for Advani is complete. As luck would have it, the lucky Rath also has Judeo’s lucky driver: Chetan Ram Moochhwala.

‘‘Chetan Ram has been driving this bus ever since it came to me from Chandigarh where it was customised and refurbished. He knows each and every thing about the bus. So he will be driving Advaniji on the Yatra,’’ Judeo said.

It was Chetan Ram who drove the bus from Raipur to Delhi when the BJP sent for it. Painted in BJP colours of saffron and green, the bus left for Kanyakumari today. It was overhauled in Delhi after its bumpy ride on Chhattisgarh roads.

As he covers some 275 km daily on the Yatra route, Advani will be ringed by his NSG personnel. Additional security will be provided by the police force of every state he passes.

His home-on-road for a month is very well furnished: plush sofas, TV, DVD player, laptop, conference table, microphones, public address

system, chemical toilet and a hydraulic platform which will raise him for the crowds to cheer. Take Judeo’s word on it.
