After the completion of assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh, maverick evangelist and Praja Shanti Party president K A Paul could not be seen anywhere.
Initially for a couple of days after the polling, Paul made a lot of hungama on the alleged failrues of electronic voting machines, on the lines of Telugu Desam Party. He even went to New Delhi to make a representation to EC authorities on the EVMs’ malfunctioning.
He appeared in a television channel to explain how he had transformed from a hard core evangelist to a full-fledged politician. He did not bother about the trolling he has been receiving in the social media.
Later, Paul completely disappeared from the scene. On Friday, he surfaced again but not in Andhra Pradesh. He was found in Sri Lanka, where there were massive bomb explosions by ISIS terrorists killing over 350 people.
Apparently, Paul went there to pray for those who died in the church and hotel blasts. All said and done, he is a popular evangelist who has a huge following in several countries even now. May be, he went to Sri Lanka on the same mission.
Despite being in Colombo, Paul expressed shock over a spate of suicides by students who failed in the Intermediate examinations due to goof-up by the Telangana state intermediate board. In an emotional message, he appealed to student not to take extreme steps.
He also expressed confidence that Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao will do justice to the failed Intermediate students and warned that if KCR did not do justice for them, he would take up the fight against him.
He added that he responded lately over this issue as because there are some restrictions imposed on usage of internet in Sri Lanka. He asked the people to pray for the families who lost their dear ones in Sri Lanka bomb blasts.
