Not just Pitru Paksha, September will see both a lunar and solar eclipse, which is considered inauspicious according to the Hindu calendar and astrological findings<\/h2>\n

his 15-day period is traditionally considered inauspicious for most new beginnings, and certainly for someone who will head the responsibility of what the BJP calls the \u2018world\u2019s largest party\u2019. (PTI)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The million-dollar political question whose answer seems ever elusive has become relevant once again\u2014Will the new BJP national president be elected soon after the September 9 Vice-Presidential election as was the expectation? While the question dangles in uncertainty, what appears to be certain is that September this year is considered inauspicious according to the Hindu calendar and astrological findings\u2014both of which the BJP, as a party, strongly believes in. <\/p>\n

One of the most prominent inauspicious periods each year is Pitru Paksha, a time dedicated to ancestral rituals. Pitru Paksha begins on September 7 and ends on September 21, culminating in Mahalaya. This 15-day period is traditionally considered inauspicious for most new beginnings, and certainly for someone who will head the responsibility of what the BJP calls the \u2018world\u2019s largest party\u2019. During this phase, homage is paid to ancestors through rituals like Shr\u0101dh and Pind Daan\u2014all of which are rooted in solemn remembrance rather than celebration.<\/p>\n

But for those who believe, unlike other years, September 2025 is even more inauspicious. \u201cOn 7th, the first day of the Pitru Paksha, there is a full lunar eclipse in India while on 21st, the last day of Pitru Paksha, there will be a solar eclipse. Such an occurrence is taking place after 100 years. Any new beginnings are strictly advised against particularly in this year\u2019s Pitru Paksha. If any major political or economic decisions are taken during this tenure, they have a high chance of being counter-effective. Having observed BJP and their leaders for a long time, I am confident they won\u2019t announce the new BJP president\u2019s name before Pitru Paksha ends,” astrologer Ashok Sanoria Devagaya told News18.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, a 15-day Pitru Paksha, lunar eclipse and solar eclipse are not enough. There are cosmic motions which too may affect fresh starts. \u201cRight now, the solar system is going in the pre-set direction. But on September 6, Uranus is expected to deviate from its path which is called retro. This will have a direct bearing on Earth. No rushed decision is advisable during that time,” says numerologist Meera Mahajan.<\/p>\n

The BJP, left with a limited window from September 2 to September 5, can\u2019t avail it, given that the Vice-Presidential poll is scheduled on September 9. The BJP will again have a broader window of nine days from September 22 till the end of the month. But eminent astrologers and numerologists suggest the after-effects of such a long inauspicious spell linger for long, which is why September is worth avoiding. Also, the second window falls during Navratri celebrations when BJP leaders are expected to visit West Bengal, Gujarat, and Karnataka among other states. <\/p>\n

News18 reached out to four BJP leaders for a comment but all of them refused to comment on the issue.<\/p>\n

YEAR-LONG WAIT THAT CONTINUES<\/strong><\/p>\n

JP Nadda\u2019s term technically ended in January 2023, following the constitutional three-year tenure. However, it was extended through June 2024 to see the party through the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. As of now, more than a year has passed since the appointment should have taken place.<\/p>\n

BJP has no technical road blocks for appointing Nadda\u2019s successor, including far surpassing the 50 per cent limit of appointing BJP state presidents. But the buzz is that unless the party chooses its Uttar Pradesh state president replacing Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary and reaches a consensus candidate that is agreeable to the Sangh, one has to wait further. Recently in Delhi, when asked about the year-long delay in appointing the BJP president, RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat quipped: \u201cHum taye karte toh itna samay lagta kya (If we had to decide, would it take this long)?”<\/p>\n

After a long spell of two years, Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan met Bhagwat, sparking buzz about the former being the elusive consensus candidate. The one-on-one meeting went on for 45 minutes at Sangh\u2019s Delhi Headquarters in Jhandewalan. The minister has refused to divulge details about the meeting. <\/p>\n

Earlier, reports had indicated that there could be a possibility of the next BJP president coming from the south of the Vindhyas. The name of Union coal and mines minister G Kishan Reddy, who was also the BJP president of Andhra Pradesh, had been doing the rounds. He comes from the state that gave Bangaru Laxman, who went ahead and became BJP\u2019s national president.<\/p>\n

However, names of Dharmendra Pradhan, Vinod Tawde, and Bhupendra Yadav have also continuously figured in the probables list for their organisational capability and teamwork mindset.<\/p>\n
