Bribing the gods

Janardhan Reddy recently gave a diamond studded crown worth about Rs 45 crores to the god in Tirupati. Reddy is Karnataka's minister for tourism and also owns Brahmani steel plant and Obulapuram mines in Andhra Pradesh. I assume this gift is in return for the Lord having showered his blessings upon him, and to ensure more such showers in the future…In India, even the gods are open to bribes.
