K.A Paul fielded candidates in five constituencies

But still he went ahead and fielded candidates in five constituencies where the Dalits form substantial chunk of voters. And he is making every effort to impress upon people about his Praja Shanti Party.
But the problem is Paul seems to be crossing the thin line between religion and politics. Despite his protestations to the contrary, Paul is basically an evangelist. His attempts at converting his ‘peace conferences’ into political rallies is likely to land him in trouble with Election Commission sooner or later.
It is also doubtful how far the Dalits, who come to him to listen to God’s word, would be swayed by his political speeches. There is already some restlessness in his meetings because of this odd mixture of Jesus and Politics. This was evident in his political-cum-peace meet at Narasapuram on Sunday evening, which was a paid live on Maha TV.
Some people suspect that Paul’s mission is to wean away a section of Dalits, who are said to be supporting Jagan’s YSR Congress Party en masse. Such a move, if fulfilled will benefit the other parties.
