KA Paul Election Campaign | KA Paul Latest Funny Videos | KA Paul Latest Comedy Video | Must Watch

In at least 35 Assembly constituencies and four MP constituencies, the names of the PSP candidates are similar to those of the YSRCP candidates. Andhra polls Is pastor K A Pauls strategy purely to confuse voters in the state A bizarre figure in Andhra Pradesh politics that has perhaps left everyone perplexed with his antics, is pastor-turned-politician K A Paul. As the state heads to the polls on April 11, few have left voters as confused, as Paul. The Praja Shanti Party (PSP) has fielded candidates in all the 175 Assembly and 25 MP constituencies in the state. Videos of Paul’s bizarre behaviour in front of the cameras frequently do the rounds on social media and he has managed to capture the attention of many people, if not their votes. So who exactly is he and what is his strategy? 'Dummy' candidates and symbol The PSP has used the same colours as the YSRCP; blue, white and green. The election symbol of the PSP, is a helicopter, similar to YSRCP's fan. With the possibility of voters getting confused quite high, Jagan holds a fan in his hands at every rally and tells people that the fan is the YSRCP symbol. The YSRCP, led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, says that in at least 35 Assembly constituencies and four MP constituencies, the names of the PSP candidates are similar to those of the YSRCP candidates, if not the exact same. Out of the 35, 19 candidatures were accepted. In Penamuluru, the YSRCP candidate is Kolusu Partha Sarathy, while the PSP candidate is Vemuri Partha Saradhi. The YSRCP candidate in Mylavaram is Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad, while the PSP candidate is Venkata Krishna Rao Bogulu. In Razole, the YSRCP candidate is Rajeswara Rao Bonthu, while Paul's candidate is Bonthu Rajeswara Rao. In Parchur, where former minister Daggubati Venkateswara Rao is contesting on a YSRCP ticket, PSP has fielded Daggubati Venkateswarlu. Understandably, the YSRCP is not too happy. Alleging that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu was close to Paul, the party has accused the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) of using the PSP to nominate ‘dummy’ candidates. YSRCP General Secretary Vijayasai Reddy even shot off a letter to the Chief Election Officer, saying, "The Praja Shanthi Party chose a party symbol similar to that of the YSRCP’s party symbol, and then it chose the same party colours as that of YSRCP. Now, by setting up candidates with identical and similar names, the intention of Praja Shanthi Party to create confusion among the voters of Andhra Pradesh is well established.”
