Bussa Krishna Raju, who changed his name to Trump Kriss in honor of Trump idol, had been fasting following news of Trump’s coronavirus infection.

He broke his fast on Saturday upon learning that the president was better, only to collapse the following day while drinking tea. 

The village of Konne, in the Jangaon district of southern Telangana state, has been mourning his death.

According to local media “The death of Trump Kriss is news in this area,” “He used to worship Trump and, because of his devotion to the US leader, he changed his name to Trump Kriss from Bussa Krishna Raju.”

Raju was 32 when he died. His relatives said it was a cardiac arrest.

Raju’s journey to becoming Trump Kriss started in 2016, after Trump’s election victory.

The story goes that, one day around four years ago, Trump came into Raju’s dreams and the farmer decided to worship the US leader. He even erected a statue of him. 

“Soon after he changed his name to Trump Kriss, people in the area started calling him by this name,”

On Sunday night villagers held a candlelit march to express their sorrow over Raju’s death.
