KTR has threatened to leave politics if the opposition can show wrongdoing in the ORR deal.

On Saturday, KT Rama Rao, minister of municipal administration and urban development, challenged the Opposition parties to substantiate their charges of wrongdoing in leasing out the Outer Ring Road (ORR) for 30 years, saying he was prepared to leave politics for good if they succeeded. He said that all Centre regulations pertaining to national roadways had been followed when the lease was signed.

Minister offered to resign immediately if BJP and Congress leaders could show evidence of any other State under their rule performing better than Telangana in terms of development, during a brief discussion on "infrastructure development under Palle Pragathi and Pattana Pragathi" in the Assembly here.

Rama Rao said that there were several ways in which the Telangana model has excelled above the Gujarat model. He said that the Central government has contributed less than 10% of the total expenditures spent on urban and rural development in Telangana during the last nine years. He went on to say that, unlike other parties, the BRS administration was not trying to claim sole credit for Hyderabad's progress.

He asked voters to send the BRS packing from the Assembly if they didn't believe his claims about the state's progress. But if there is even a shred of truth to what I say, I ask that the Opposition parties' deposits be lost.

Rama Rao, a critic of the Congress party, claimed the organization had lost its legitimacy. He noted that the Congress leaders, who had ruled the State for over half a century, were now moaning about the inadequate state of the State's infrastructure. He said the opposition was politically defunct.
