Here is a report in the Houston Press (June 9, 2007 issue) on the
tantrums international evangelist KA Paul plays with the rich and
mighty. That his allegations against Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy
are baseless is clearly evident from the Houston Press report.
Just go through the report and judge for yourself about this man.
On a Saturday afternoon in January 2005, a short Indian minister stormed into Gallery Furniture and demanded to speak to owner Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale.
There are few places as crowded as Gallery Furniture on a Saturday, but the man, surrounded by his entourage, was insistent. A staff member summoned McIngvale, who agreed to talk with the man for a few minutes.

There are few places as crowded as Gallery Furniture on a Saturday, but the man, surrounded by his entourage, was insistent. A staff member summoned McIngvale, who agreed to talk with the man for a few minutes.
He introduced himself as Dr. K.A. Paul. He was a famous globetrotting
minister based in Houston. He wanted to bring medical supplies to
tsunami victims in Sri Lanka, but he needed $200,000 for gas money. He
needed it now.
"The whole thing was kind of surreal," McIngvale recalls. He'd never heard of Paul. He had also just donated $250,000 to the tsunami relief program launched by former presidents Bush and Clinton.
"I just figured, if you've got enough money to buy a billion-dollar airplane, you oughta have enough money to [pump it] full of gas," McIngvale says. "That'd be like some guy in a brand-new Rolls-Royce pulling up here asking for gas money."
