"I say that you have to decide whether you want to create history by resigning or be lost in history by hanging on to your posts. This is an opportunity for you to find a permanent place in history. Such opportunities would not come often," he said addressing a public meeting at Devarakadra near here.
"You quit your posts. Let me see why Telangana would not come. You should quit your posts and get Telangana by making the Centre bend," he said.
The TRS president has been piling up pressure on the Telangana Congress MPs and MLAs by saying that they should quit their posts to make the Centre accept the separate Telangana demand.
The Centre should implement the announcement it made in December 2009 to form separate Telangana, he said.
"It was reported in the media even in US and Britain that a new state is born in India. The whole world witnessed when the Centre declared that separate Telangana would be formed. The Central government should keep its promise," Rao said.
Further delay in the formation of separate Telangana would only anger the people of the region and those opposing the demand would be burnt in it, he added.
