Why did ysr convert to christianity

They worshipped at the CSI church in their hometown, Pulivendula. Dr YSR was a very devoted Christian, always attending church whenever they were in their hometown. We were contemporaries in college. I had the privilege of attending their YSR's family's last Christmas function. There were many family members there and also preachers.

It is a very big family of more than close relatives. His mother was a very devout lady. She prayed for his success in the first election. Dr YSR always acknowledged his mother's prayers for his success. There is no doubt he is with the Lord in heaven.

He loved people and people poured their love on him. It was the people's love that got him elected as chief minister for a second term. He had implemented many good programmes for the people in the state.

We had very cordial and friendly meetings whenever I met with him. I met him recently to invite him to my diocese in October and we were expecting him to come as the chief guest for the th anniversary of the SPG high school, Nandyal. He has helped a lot of Christians, especially Dalit Christians.

W hy did the BJP not make any noise at that time? People have rejected their religion -based politics. P anchayat poll results are enough proof. According to the Census, Christians account for 1. According to political analyst Suresh Alapati, any state where the BJP tri es to make inroads , religion — based politics is expected. H ow else would they do it? They cannot counter much on the basis of development.

Jagan is a practising Christian. He won with a huge mandate in assembly polls. There cannot be only Christians or Reddys voting for him. India needs free, fair, non-hyphenated and questioning journalism even more as it faces multiple crises. But the news media is in a crisis of its own. There have been brutal layoffs and pay-cuts.

The best of journalism is shrinking, yielding to crude prime-time spectacle. ThePrint has the finest young reporters, columnists and editors working for it. Sustaining journalism of this quality needs smart and thinking people like you to pay for it. Whether you live in India or overseas, you can do it here. Support Our Journalism. I know of atleast one case where a hindu family was given land in Tirupati after converting to Christianity. He may not be doing it outrightly but he is doing it covertly.

Dont spread communalism, their is no proof and people are happy with his regime. Look at other countries where Indians by and large occupy high positions in the goverment are they all supporting conversions just because they are Hindu, No. There is goondaism in his christian authoritative regime and so all of the people will paste a fake happy smile on their faces.

Who will be happy if their religion is being targetted by desecration of their places of worship, by constant badgering of conversion mafia except ofcourse the christians? In other countries, Hindus are very few in numbers and there is no use converting them and spoiiling their name if the missionaries are do not want a bad name.

India is another deal due to the huge population and the bribes and fake healing camps the christians do and it is worth being criticised here as they still get the numbers. He is doing it covertly and his followers are doing overtly. Thursday, 11 November, Sign in. Forgot your password? Get help. Privacy Policy. Password recovery. Most Popular.
