The Telangana movement has not been supportive of the Gorkhaland cause. TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao in an interview had stated “I am against Gorkhaland.” He had stated that one cannot have a new state on an international border at a time when the country is grappling with insurgency in north east and militancy in Kashmir.
He had further added that while the demand for Telangana comprises of 10 districts out of the existing 23 of Andhra Pradesh, Gorkhaland comprises of a single district of West Bengal, that too with the people of the plains divided.
