PREDICTION:
Shri L.K Advani has a powerful chart but also has a Rajabhaya yoga due to which the position of the Prime Minister might not be possible for him.
There are blocks in obtaining power and therefore chances of the BJP’s tally falling to less than the 2004 elections are high.
Personally Advaniji should be able to return to the lok Sabha but the cohesive force of the BJP could go down further.
Challenges to his leadership within the party would rise too. His position could be challenged after September 2009.
Advaniji should take care of injuries, especially his foot after October 2011.
The period between August and December 2009 would be challenging.
Thereafter there will be a revival in the position of the BJP AND Mr. Advani as such.
January 2010 onwards some turn around in the position of BJP would come while 2010 onwards a rise in position as well as possibility of coming into power along with some alliances also possible. This trend will be stronger after 2011 commences.
Political career should start slowing down and meandering after October 2011.
