On Saturday, Telangana Assembly Speaker Sirikonda Madhusudhana Chary sat with his head bowed as supporters poured bowls full of milk on him - their way of rewarding him for announcing a village council at his home constituency.
On video, Mr Chary was seen with milk dribbling down his head and neck for a few moments before he raised his hands to stop his supporters at the village in Bhupalpally, his constituency in Telangana.
The "milk bath" is a tradition followed for "VIP treatment" in these parts.

What a wastage of milk! You do realize Telangana has a lot of people who actually don't have money to afford it.
