On Saturday, June 24, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, known for his bold decisions against blind beliefs and superstitions, made his entry and exit through the south door of his office at Bengaluru's Vidhana Soudha which had been long closed for "Vastu reasons". Sources from the Chief Minister's Office said that earlier CMs feared entering through the door as 'Vastu' experts maintained that movement through this door would affect their political careers.
