YSR Telangana Party chief YS Sharmila on Thursday dared chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to walk for a day with her and brandished a shoe box with a pair of shoes to emphasise her challenge.

Interacting with media persons, Sharmila displayed a box containing a pair of sports shoes urging KCR to join her 'Praja prastana' padayatra to gain awareness of the problems of the public.

The padyatra, which was stopped after an alleged attack on her convoy last year will resume today from Narsampet's Narsampet, said the YSR leader. She undertook the padyatra with a view to strengthening her organisation ahead of the Assembly elections slated later this year.

Speaking to ANI the YSRTP chief dared KCR to walk with her and said that she would "retire from politics" if his claim of Telangana being a "golden state" is proved true.

"Today I challenge Telangana CM KCR to walk with me in Padyatra and we presented a shoe box to him. If in fact, this is the golden state as KCR states, there are no problems to the people of Telangana, if my people are not reeling under poverty as he says, then I will apologise to KCR and retire from politics. But if this is not true, KCR has to resign and apologise to people of the state and make a Dalit a Chief Minister like he promised," she said.

Asked about the state Budget which will be presented tomorrow in the Assembly, Sharmila said that she has no hopes for the budget as the Chief Minister "anyway is not going to stick to it".

"We have seen KCR has been Chief Minister for eight-and-a-half years now. Seeing his pattern of working, and how he allocates the budget, there is no sense in the budget that the KCR government presents. I don't see any hope because KCR anyway is not going to stick to it," she said.
