Hyderabad: 38-year-old Bussa Krishna, an ardent devotee of US President Donald Trump, died of a massive stroke on Sunday noon. Popularly called ‘Trump Krishna’ in his village, the farmer went viral after he built a six-feet statue of Trump at his house.
Treating Trump as his God, he also offered the statue prayers every day.
According to his family members, he collapsed while having tea at his uncle’s residence at Toopran area in Medak district. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
The family also informed that he was upset when learned about Trump testing positive for COVID-19. He also released videos praying for the speedy recovery of the US President.
In February this year, ahead of Trump’s visit, Krishna, had put forth an appeal to the Central government to fulfill his wish of meeting his idol. “I want India-America relations to remain strong. Every Friday, I fast for Trump’s long life. I also carry his picture and pray to him before commencing any work. I wish to meet him, I request the government to make my dream come true,” Krishna told ANI. His desire, however, remained unfulfilled.
Krishna was a school dropout and was into farming, but he had knowledge of global politics. He strongly believed that Trump should win again and tackle China. He was also a supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
