From ancient period to recent days, many of the people believe in Vastu or fault in stars for something wrong happened to them.
This discussion is because the Gujarat state Congress party office named Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, has shifted their main office from Paldi area to Memnagar area.
According to Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) spokesperson Manish Doshi, the main reason behind the office shift is to break curse of losing all major elections in the state ever since party headquarters has shifted to the Paldi area in 2001 and also to maintain good contacts and ease in handling day to day administrative affairs of the party.
According to GPCC secretary Bhavin Vyas, the office was being shifted for two reasons; one being to increase the contacts in the western party of the city and the other is the current office at Paldi has Vastu dosh.
Whatever may be the reason for the shifting? The date of shift was decided to be on Janmashtami that is on Sep 5. "We have chosen the new location for convenience in handling administrative affairs. It also has some geographical advantages. It is a four-storey building, which we have taken on rent. We have already started the shifting of furniture from today," Doshi said.
The new office will be officially inaugurated on Janmashtami, which falls on September 5. "This office will work as an extension. We will also make use of Paldi office," said Doshi.
A party worker said, "GPCC built the Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan at Paldi in 2001 after pulling down a bungalow. In the parking area, there is a tomb, which has been kept intact. Current president Bharatsinh Solanki was GPCC president at that time too."
