As KCR Gifts Gold To Gods, Crackdown On Jobs Protest In Hyderabad | Read
Around 3 am on Wednesday morning, the police in Hyderabad swooped down on activists who had planned a protest over unemployment in Telangana, India's newest state. Later in the morning, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was seen at a temple in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, offering an eye-popping array of gold ornaments worth crores to "thank" the Gods. Mr Rao, aka KCR, had promised to lavish gold on Gods in both states if Telangana became reality. "I have fulfilled my debt...both Telugu speaking states will do very well," he told reporters.
