RANCHI: Jharkhand chief minister Arjun Munda is banking on divine intervention to save his government, as Shibu Soren-led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has mounted pressure on him to quit.
Soren on Wednesday insisted that the BJP should abide by an unwritten power-sharing agreement between the two parties that they would run the government on 28-month rotational basis.
Sources in CM's house said Munda and his wife chant Sankat Mochan Hanuman mantras and read Hanuman Chalisa seven times every day. Munda does not even take breakfast before his daily puja.
Acharya Ravi Shastri, who had done vaastu corrections at then Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao's official residence in 1995, said he did a similar ritual at Munda's house. "The vastu correction was done to avert political crisis," said Shastri. "No political crisis would plague the government. I had told the same to Rao in 1995 when he had taken me for vastu corrections."
Shashtri said Rao's coalition government was in trouble throughout, but managed to complete its term.
Ajay Shastri, chief priest of the CM's in-house temple, said, "Mundaji does a parikrama of the temple every morning after chanting mantras as advised to him."
It is believed that the one who does this where Lord Hanuman's idol is installed in its Sankat Mochan form is saved from all troubles and enemies. "As advised, Munda has started wearing a Sankat Mochan Kavach (cover) in his neck too," said a source.
Munda is known for his religiosity. He arranged an elaborate 'grih pravesh' after ensuring certain vaastu corrections at the CM's official residence when he took over for the first time in 2002.
He installed a Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple at his official residence to ward off evils that could harm his health and political career after surviving a helicopter crash in May. In July, he even invited a group of priests from Ayodhya for vaastu corrections at his official residence again.
