Evangelist claims Reddy had sought $5 million
Friday, 08 June , 2007
Hyderabad: A Christian evangelist on Friday alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy had demanded $5 million for party funds in December 2003 even as the later denied the allegations as 'wild' and 'baseless'.
K A Paul, chairman of the Global Peace Initiative (GPI), told newspersons that Reddy had sought the money from him and promised to help GPI go overseas.
He alleged that the Chief Minister, accompanied by senior Congress leader Botsa Satyanarayana, now a state minister, approached him in December 2003 seeking funds for 2004 elections. He claimed that he had declined to pay the money.
Paul alleged that he was facing threat to his life as Reddy bore grudge against him for refusing to give money. "Now my life is under threat from Dr Reddy," he said.
However, Reddy told a news conference on Friday that he did visit the orphanage run by Paul's brother on his invitation in December 2003. "But I never asked for money. When Dr Paul wanted that All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Sonia Gandhi be invited to the orphanage, I spoke to her but she did not evince any interest," said Reddy.
The Chief Minister said that Paul was friend of Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu. "I don't know why he is making such wild and baseless allegations," he said.

Remember (Dr) Paul - yes, the same who goes around lunging himself at hindus because he just can't seem to take control of his emotions (christian fanaticism can do that to someone's mind). Well, if there is any truth in the above allegations, it would be worth investigating - after all it explains the rigorous efforts by the CM Samuel at christianizing the state of AP. If such allegations (or even a hint of it) of politicians, senators, or congressmen are made in the US, the journalists of the US media will swoop down on it like vultures, investigating and probing - after all it is a hot story. But, of course, in India, the majority of the Indian press regularly stand outside the various christian missions for handouts, and will suppress any news that will incriminate the christian politicians and leaders, or blemish their 'pure' christian image, in exchange for the handouts. The mainstream Indian press, with exception of one or two Indian newspapers. probably has the least credibility in the world - there is more ounce of truth to be found in the (sleazy) tabloids than in the mainstream newspapers and magazine in the country.
