K A Paul, the evangelist-turned-politician is a desperate man. The
man supposed to be preaching the gospel of peace has turned into a rebel
without a clear cause.
His fight with late Y S Rajasekharara Reddy and how he fell from
grace during the former’s regime is well-known. Paul was calling the
shots even politically during Chandrababu Naidu regime, when the likes
of the late Lok Sabha Speaker GMC Balayogi were his close pals. Many
thought once YSR left the scene, Paul would go back to his evangelism.
But Paul refused to let go.
He was so possessed in his political
ambitions that he had decided to throw his weight in the ensuing
by-polls. Many believe that Paul and his mission suffered financially
during the YSR regime. Having not been able to recover from his loss,
Paul diverted his attention to politics where he is desperate to make a
mark.
But knowing the politics in this state, it is anybody’s understanding
that Paul would not be able to make inroads into this well-entrenched
bastion of the existing players – the latest of them being Jagan. Paul
has neither the ideology, nor following nor resources required to run a
political party successfully.
