New Delhi — Bharatiya Janta Party's (BJP) pro-Telangana activists brave water cannons as they break through barricades toward Indian police during a protest in New Delhi. The activists are demanding the UPA government to immediately take steps to form a separate state of Telangana. New Delhi agreed in 2009 to the partition of Andhra Pradesh, India's fifth-largest state in terms of territory, but soon after it said the proposal needed more consultation following a fierce political backlash.
