YSR

He sanctioned Rs. 80, 000/- per Church for repair works in August 2006 as per GO MS. No: 21 dt 22/08/2006 (CM Reddy okays public money for Churches â Deccan Chronicle, 23 August 2006) and an aid of Rs. 1.5 lakhs for the construction of each Church.


This is done while the government is controlling over 30,000 Temples and taking all their revenue. Only 15% of temple revenue is given back for temple maintenance and salaries of priests. Over 40,000 Priests earn a salary of only Rs. 500/- to Rs. 1000/- per month. The rest of the revenue is being used for other government schemes and minority welfare schemes, as in Tamil Nadu.


The AP government is also auctioning cows and calves donated by devotees to Bhagwan Narasimhar Temple at Simhachalam to owners of abattoirs. With so much of revenue from temples, it is unfortunate that the government has not bothered to maintain a decent Goshala respecting the sentiments of Hindu devotees.
(http://www.hindujagruti.org/activities/campaigns/religious/s ave-temples/templesact/misuse.php)


The state government identified 7000 acres of temple lands for sale to raise revenues of Rs. 20, 000 crores. In many places, those lands have been allegedly encroached upon by Churches and Missionaries with the connivance of government officials. Some have been given for construction of Churches and Mosques.


Thousands of Churches have been planted by missionaries throughout the state totally disproportionate to the Christian population - one Church for every seven Christians! The number of Churches stands at 148,000; the temples are 190,000 (one for every 350 Hindus) and Mosques figure at 176,000 (one for every 40 Muslims)
(Ref: http://www.drthchowdary.net/index.php and
http://www.haindavakeralam.com/HkPage.aspx?PAGEID=7317&SKIN= C ).


The pastors of the planted Churches straightaway started their âharvestsâ particularly in rural areas, where mass conversions have been rampant for the last five years. While the government figure of Christian population is 1.5% (2001 census), the Church itself puts the figure at 10 to 12%, which could certainly be more in view of the large scale conversion in the state. Most converts are Scheduled Castes who pretend to be Hindus to enjoy reservation benefits, while they practice Christianity at home. The AP Assembly passed a resolution for SC status for Christian and Muslim SC converts.


Emboldened by the governmentâs attitude, missionaries made a focused assault on Thirumala Thirupathi. The YSR government facilitated such activities by releasing a GO saying Bhagwan Venkateswaraâs assets were only two hills covering an area of 27.5 sq. kms., and the other five hills would be taken over by the government for converting them into a picnic spot with multiplexes, food courts, commercial, sports and entertainment infrastructures including a rope-way to reach the top of the hills.


Fortunately, the AP High Court quashed the GO and the government beat a retreat after fierce Hindu agitations. {Judgment of a Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court1997 (2) ALD Page 59 (DB) â Tallapakam Koppu Raghavan Vs State of A.P}


But the Church never stopped evangelical activities on the hills, sparking off widespread agitation by the Hindu community. Sri Swarupanandendra Swami of Saradha Peetam, Hyderabad, convened a Seersâ Meet in Delhi to take necessary actions against religious conversions. Subsequently, Sri Vishweshra Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt, Udipi, organized a massive public meeting in Thirupathi with the support of Hindu organizations.


He also constituted a fact finding committee under the Chairmanship of Sri Justice G. Bikshapathy, former Judge of AP High Court with Sri Justice K.B. Siddappa, former Judge of APHC, Sri TS Rao, former Director General of Police, Andhra Pradesh, Smt. Dr. P Geervani, former Vice-Chancellor of Sri Padmavathi Mahila Viswa Vidyala and Sri Dr. R Shrihari, former Vice-Chancellor of Dravidian University, Kuppam, as members. The committee held a preliminary sitting on 17 June 2006 at Hyderabad and visited Tirupathi and Tirumala on 21-22 June 2006 and held a public enquiry and subsequently issued public notice in the dailies and in electronic media
(http://www.organiser.org/dynamic/modules.php?name=Content&pa =showpage&pid=139&page=3 ).


The TTDâs commodities contract also went to a Christian company by name JRG Wealth Management. The Hindu-Business Line reported, âThe introduction of JRG Wealth Management Company's commodity futures terminal at Tirupati gave an on-line price reference mechanism to the second richest temple township in the world, next only to the Vaticanâ.
(http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/08/31/stories/20050 83102560900.htm)


Though YSR later kept out of Hindu pilgrimage centres, he gave a free hand to Churches and missionaries to carry out evangelical activities in the rest of the state. His son-in-law Anil Kumar is an evangelist with his own ministries. A Brahmin-convert, Brother Anil Kumar claims to be a preacher with anointing of holy spirits, powerful and authoritative teacher, revealer of Kingdomâs principles, warrior of faith and a healer through miracles doing wonders in the name of Jesus (http://www.aweministries.org/).


When he arranged for a mammoth congregation, as huge as US evangelist Benny Hinnâs, the governmentâs machineries were allegedly used to make the show a big hit. Hundreds of banners were erected throughout the twin cities and other major cities and towns to welcome Brother Anil Kumar. YSR participated with his wife and daughter. The evangelical meet came in for severe criticism and drew flak from the opposition. But when confronted by the media on the use of official machinery to promote his son-in-law, YSR had quipped, âWhat is wrong in that?â It is believed Brother Anil Kumar has been placed as rival to the well-known evangelist KA Paul, also from AP.
(http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/dec/15-andhra-cm-son-in-laws -religious-meet-draws-flak.htm and
http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/YSRs-evangelist-soni nlaw-triggers-war-of-words/421191/)


After winning the elections, YSR and his family went on a pilgrimage to Bethlehem, at the end of May 2009 to offer thanksgiving prayers for the victory of the Congress party. He did the same in 2004 also. Little wonder that he subsidized Bethlehem/Jerusalem pilgrimage for Christians, first of its kind in the country, allotting a budget of 2 crores of rupees for 2008-09, apart from 5 crores of rupees for repairs of churches and mosques.
(http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080219/nation.htm#4)


Small wonder that Christians of all denominations favoured him in the 2009 elections. Rayalaseema Regional Christiansâ Sadassu in Kadapa called upon Christians in the four Rayalaseema districts to vote for Congress to ensure further progress. Bishop of Rayalaseema Diocese, Varaprasad, former Bishop CVM Fredrick Babu, Rev. Fr. Samson and Banhur Babu of CSI Church, Pastor CSI Church, secretary Samuel Babu and Zion College of Physical Education K. Rajarathnam Isaac were present at Sadassu. They appreciated the various welfare schemes launched by government.
(http://www.thehindu.com/2009/04/18/stories/2009041851820300. htm).


The Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI) condoled the CMâs untimely death in a press release, referring to his message of 19 August 2009 to them on the occasion of All India Congress on Church in Mission, expressing gratitude to the âChristian Churches in India for their service to the nation in the field of education, health and social work and for promoting peace, reconciliation and development of all communities irrespective of caste and creed.â EFI called for prayers for the family of the late Chief Minister and for the families of the four other officers who died in the tragic accident.


The London based âReligious Intelligenceâ mourned YSRâs death by publishing an article titled âHead of Indian state, a Christian, killed in chopper crash,â by Delhi-based journalist Vishal Arora. It said YSR was a second-generation Christian, as his father Raja Reddy was converted by missionaries while serving in the military in Burma. It claimed without any evidence that âseveralâ Christian priests and workers were killed in ânumerousâ attacks in the last few years and blamed âHindu Nationalistsâ for those attacks!
(http://www.religiousintelligence.co.uk/news/?NewsID=4961).


TV channels mentioned on the eve of his funeral that his father was shot dead (by rivals) at the age of 75, thereby confirming his âbloodyâ past, which is also evidenced by the anti-social track record of âBhumana brothersâ (Bhumana Karunakara Reddy and Bhumana Subramanya Reddy) associated with his family.
(http://www.christianaggression.org/item_display.php?type=ART ICLES&id=1133939601
and http://www.hindu.com/2004/04/13/stories/2004041305380500.htm and
http://www.sandeepweb.com/2009/09/04/how-slayers-are-sainted /#more-1356)


The New Indian Express reported, âPhysical elimination of rivals, typical of the factional politics of Rayalaseema region, began soon after YSR became Chief Minister. Congress warlords loyal to the Chief Minister, but till then confined to Rayalaseema, spread their tentacles to even the state capital, dictating who should be awarded works and involving themselves in real estate settlements.â
(http://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=He+was+t he+rainmaker&artid=kySQCi/WkhY=&SectionID=XVSZ2Fy6Gzo=
&MainSectionID=XVSZ2Fy6Gzo=&SectionName=m3GntEw72ik ).


Coincidentally, just five days before, TDP president Chandrababu Naidu accused YSR of mismanagement of Thirumala Tirupati Devasthanamâs affairs and demanded dissolution of the TTD Board. In a press conference at TDP headquarters on 28 August, he said the assets of TTD were worth about Rs 30,000 crore, while the value of the jewellery could not be estimated as many jewels donated to the temple since Srikrishna Devarayaâs era were invaluable.


Dr. Naidu said the Chief Minister would face the wrath of Lord Venkatesvara for indifference towards Tirumala, the Lordâs abode: âLord Venkatesvara (Lord Balaji) is very powerful. This is a proven historical fact. Such people will pay a heavy price in the long run.â He said former Chief Minister NT Rama Rao wanted to develop Tirumala at par with Vatican City.
(http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20090829/1416/tnl-dissolve-ttd-b oard-demands-naidu_1.html)


All said and done, however, YSR was indeed a charismatic leader with a well-earned pro-poor image, as evidenced by the startling spate of suicides and shock deaths, hitherto an exclusive âcultureâ of âDravidianâ land (Tamil Nadu). He outshone the Dravidian leaders in âallâ respects not only when he was alive, but also after his death. Karunanidhi fittingly declared a state holiday as a mark of respect to the departed leader.
