Will Balayya-Babu Vaastu Changes Work Out?

Lately, there have been some vaastu changes carried out at NTR Bhavan, the Headquarters of Telugu Desam Party in Hyderabad. These changes were made by none other than Party founder NT Ramarao’s son and cine actor Nandamuri Balakrishna.

Balayya was the one who suggested to Naidu that some changes to the building were imperative if Lady Luck was to smile on the party and its chief. His advice came at a time the party was smarting under a series of defeats in the general elections and by-elections. He even brought some Vaastu experts in September this year and had the necessary changes made to the party office. On Sunday, Balakrishna, accompanied by party leader Sujana Chowdary, Vaastu expert and chief executive officer of NTR Memorial Trust M Venkat, inspected the changes and expressed satisfaction over the changes, sources said.

As per the suggestions of the Vaastu expert, the party demolished the existing security guard room and constructed a new one at the main entrance of NTR Bhavan. The old entrance was closed and a new one was constructed a few feet away from the old one. Now the irresistable question asked by the political observers and the Nandamuri fans, whether the 'vaastu-betterment' will bring better days for the Party.

Ironically, some non-believers comment that, it was after the Vaastu changes were initiated in September, Naidu’s rival and YSR Congress honorary president YS Vijayalakshmi filed a petition in the High Court which ordered a CBI probe into the assets of Naidu and his family members. However, some die hard believers shoot back "It is not the first time for Naidu to make Vaastu changes to NTR Bhavan. He made several changes to it after the 2009 elections."
