Astrologer Venu Swamy is facing a huge criticism following the results of the Andhra Pradesh elections. Despite his confident claims that YS Jagan would secure a thumping victory, the ruling YSR Congress party is heading towards a massive defeat at the hands of the TDP+Janasena alliance.
In a video released today, Swamy acknowledged his mistakes and announced that he will no longer make predictions related to politics or movie stars. He admitted that while his forecast of Narendra Modi’s impact at the Centre proved accurate, his prediction about Jagan’s win in Andhra Pradesh was brutally wrong.
Swamy’s credibility has been further questioned due to his previous failed predictions, such as his claim that Prabhas’ time was over and his film Salaar would be a disaster at the box office. However, Salaar went on to gross ₹700 crores at the box office, and Prabhas’ upcoming film Kalki 2898 AD is expected to surpass the records set by Baahubali and KGF 2.
The astrologer’s inability to accurately predict the outcomes of these significant events has led to a wave of trolling and criticism on social media. Many have questioned the reliability of astrology and Swamy’s expertise.
