Indian state leader removes personal astrologer from key government role after backlash
Rationalist critics and opposition leaders had argued that such an appointment would promote superstition over scientific thinking
The newly elected chief minister of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu has revoked the appointment of his longtime astrologer to a key government role following backlash.
Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, an actor-turned-politician who scored a stunning victory on his electoral debut earlier this month, had picked Rickey Randhan Pandit Vettrivel, an astrologer and numerologist with no administrative experience, to advise him in office.

Oh hang on, numerology is just superstitious twaddle.
Ed's the man for that.
