While the near future may seem bright for the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress' newly formed Maha Vikas Aghadi, Vedic astrologer Sushil Chaturvedi, 75, has predicted that infighting in the period between February 7 and April 28 will lead to the coalition's collapse.

Chaturvedi based his prediction on the luck associated with the timing of Uddhav Thackeray's oath-taking ceremony on Thursday. "The oath-taking ceremony is scheduled for 6:40pm on November 28," he said, speaking with mid-day over the phone.
