Krishna regularly posts photographs of him worshipping the US president on his Facebook page – Krish Raj.
Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 22nd September, 2018) For Bussa Krishna, US President Donald Trump is no less than a god.
For the last three years, the 31-year-old farmer from near Hyderabad, India, has been carrying around Trump’s image and praying to him several times a day.
To aid his devotion, he set up a Facebook page where he posts videos and images of him making offerings, or puja in the Hindu faith, at a shrine in the village of Konne in Telengana.
Worshipping politicians is not new to Indians as followers across the country have given divine status to political leaders as well as movie stars by erecting their statues and building temples to them.
But the idea of worshipping the US president struck Krishna after Srinivas Kuchibhotla, a software engineer from the state, was killed by a US navy veteran in an alleged act of hate crime in February last year.
“I was very much pained at the incident. I thought the only way the US president and his people could understand the greatness of Indians is to display our love and affection towards them. That is why I started worshipping Trump with a hope that the prayers would reach him one day,” he said.
“I believe Indians can win over anyone with their spiritual powers. When you cannot take on a mighty person directly, you can win over him with love and worship and that is what I am doing,” he added.
“I only know that he is the most strong and invincible leader in the world. What I liked about him was his bold attitude. Since he took part in World Wrestling Federation (WWF) competitions, he must be very powerful,” the school dropout said.
Krishna regularly posts photographs of him worshipping the US president on his Facebook page – Krish Raj.
“Nobody took me seriously and some people even called me a mad fellow, wondering how prayers in a remote village would reach Trump. But I have a strong faith in what I am doing,” he said.
Krishna even claimed that he received a message from Trump on Twitter on June 19.
“Krish from India is a very close friend of mine; out of the billions and billions of Indians, he is my favourite. He’s able to channel dragon energy from worshipping my photos; may be low-energy Jeb Bush should give it a try; I’d be happy send him a pic! See you soon Krish!” the message read.
It could not be independently verified whether the message was genuine but Krishna was on cloud nine.
“I am extremely happy to receive a message from Trump. I am sure he will remember me if he comes to India,” he said.
