Indian man who fasted for four days ‘to pray for Trump’s coronavirus recovery’ dies of cardiac arrest ... and the cheeto just keeps on killing.
A 38-year-old man from the Indian state of
Telangana has died after fasting for four days to pray for Donald
Trump’s recovery from Covid-19.
According to his family, B
ussa Krishna Raju worshipped the US president like a god, and was shocked and disturbed to find out about his
coronavirus diagnosis.
Mr Raju refused food and started praying for Mr Trump’s recovery when he found out about his infection last week. Mr Trump tested positive on Thursday 1 October, and was treated at the Walter Reed Medical Center for several days.
Mr Raju’s family told the Times of India that he collapsed on Sunday while having tea at his relative’s residence in the village of Toopran in Medak district. He was taken to hospital where doctors declared him dead.
A close family member told the Times of India: "He was upset when he learnt about Trump testing positive for coronavirus. He spent sleepless nights, starved and prayed for the US president's recovery for the past three-four days. He died of
cardiac arrest today around noon."
Cheetolini’s mind meld reaches far and wide ....
Mr Raju has previously been in the news earlier this year when he installed a 6-foot statue of the US president at his home and started performing rituals, calling his residence the “Trump Temple”.
Mr Raju said at the time that he had been praying for Mr Trump’s re-election, as well as his wellbeing and that of the First Lady Melania Trump. He claimed that even before installing the statue, he was worshipping Trump for over four years.
And in an earlier interview with the Times of India, Mr Raju said that the reason he started worshipping Mr Trump in the first place was that he appeared in his dreams.
Mr Raju had expressed a wish to meet Mr Trump when the president visited India for a rally alongside Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad in February this year. His wish remained unfulfilled, however.
Mr Raju is not the only Indian to show his affection for Mr Trump. In the past the Hindu Sena, a right-wing fringe group, has prepared songs for Mr Trump’s welcome, celebrated his birthday and carried out photo exhibitions where they gave up offerings of cake to a poster of the president.
Hindu Sena members say they support Mr Trump because of his perceived hardline stance on Muslims, and his close relationship with Mr Modi. Hindu Sena also carried out a religious ceremony to pray for Mr Trump’s re-election during his February visit.
