On temple visit, TN candidate seeks out fortune-telling parrot, leaves feeling happy | India News – Times of India



CUDDALORE: Politicians parroting promises is the stuff of elections. But what happens when a politician visits a fortune-telling parrot wanting to know his electoral fate?
PMK’s Cuddalore candidate and film director Thankar Bachan surprised a kili josiyar – Tamil for parrot astrologer – outside Azhagumuthu Iyyanar temple in Thennabakkam on Sunday when he stopped by to seek a prediction.
Bachan, who was visiting the shrine on the sidelines of a campaign tour of the constituency, sat on the ground and asked the astrologer to get his parrot to predict his political future.
As soon as the astrologer got the parrot out of its cage, it started picking cards with its hookbill and laying them aside until it settled on one for its high-profile client.
Turns out the card bore the image of Azhagumuthu Iyyanar, the presiding deity of the temple to whom Bachan had paid obeisance a few minutes ago. The astrologer, seemingly relieved at his parrot’s choice, declared that the director-politician would win the Lok Sabha seat since the card picked for him had an image of divinity.
Pleased at the prediction, Bachan offered a banana to the parrot and commenced his campaign.
