Naidu Roped In Paul To Lure Minorities?

With the sudden entry of KA Paul into state's political scenario once again, equations of votes might change a bit. What Jagan has thought as a cake walk for him may become a thorny path now.

Other than YSR's supporters and sympathizers of Jagan, main target of YSR-CP are the backward classes, especially Christian minorities of the state. With Paul's entry there may be a split in the votes of these minorities, feel analysts. 'They have roped in KA Paul to split our vote bank. Paul started his moves in the state politics with the support of TDP', stresses an YSR CP leader.

The presence of TDP veteran, Lal Jan Basha at a press meet organized by KA Paul's 'Prajashanti Party' raised curtains about TDP's collaboration with him. However, TDP sleuths are saying that their leader joined Paul only to extend his support for fight against corruption. There is a chance of Paul pulling few seats in Christian minority dominated areas and joining hands with TDP after the election. Earlier too, TDP leader, speaker late GMC Balayogi and Paul used to have good rapport which shows his closeness with Telugudesam.

KA Paul Hopes On Caste Votes In By-Polls

Kilari Anand Paul aka KA Paul, known for his evangelism and teachings, is back into action to lead his party into main stream politics. The religious preacher is eyeing to field candidates in all the constituencies scheduled for by-polls.

Paul went into oblivion after fighting for reasons unknown with erstwhile CM YSR. However, he revealed a couple of days back that YSR and Botsa demanded 20 crores from him, failing which he got harassed by the ruling party. 'They demanded 2000 crores from me. I've arranged a meeting with American corporate giants to get them that money but the meeting failed with YSR bunking it', said KA Paul. He revived his PrajaShanti Party which was defunct since 2009 elections to prevent corruption in the stated.

Paul too started using 'Scam hit Congress' and 'CBI hit Jagan' cards to win seats in the upcoming by-polls. Sources are saying that Paul is luring both Christian communities and Kapu community from which he hails, in favor of his party. If caste based vote-banks help leaders to come into power, Naidu and Chiru would have got it long back, say analysts.
