Globe-trotting evangelist K A Paul has alleged that chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy asked him for $5 million for his political campaign before the 2004 assembly elections.
Paul, who rubs shoulders with the high and mighty in the world, also said he faced a threat to his life because of which he has come out with his 'confession' before the public.
"I told him (YSR) that I had never given
money to any political party and that the money I earn goes to the benefit
of the widows and orphans. But I said I would introduce him to some of my
rich American friends with whom he could talk to," Paul said.
The chief minister brushed aside the allegations as "baseless comments
made through his hat".
