Vaastu Power

N Chandrababu Naidu is eager to set up the new capital of truncated Andhra Pradesh at the earliest. However, he may have to camp in Hyderabad till the secretariat is ready to be shifted. The CM-designate has rejected two proposed offices in Hyderabad and the hunt is on for a 'vaastu-friendly' place. Till then, his house will double up as the camp office. Back in power after a decade, Naidu is taking no chances.

K Chandrasekhar Rao is a firm believer in vaastu and numerology. Two IAS and IPS officers have been told to vacate their bungalows in Hyderabad which will be turned into the new CM's residence cum camp office. Rao has even decided the size of his Cabinet by numerology: He will have 15 ministers, not the 18 he can accommodate, as 15 adds up to six, his lucky number.
