"This is the last phase of the present UPA government and to derive political benefit, the Congress has brought the Telangana issue," Roy, a former Union minister, told reporters here.
Referring to the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha President Bimal Gurung's resigning as CEO from the Gorkha Territorial Administration in Darjeeling as a fallout of the Telangana decision, Roy said "Gurung has resigned in his personal capacity. Other GJM members have not quit the GTA."
Meanwhile, WBPCC president Pradip Bhattacharya said it was incorrect to equate the Telangana issue with the GJM's Gorkhaland demand.
"There is no relation of Telangana with the next Lok Sabha elections," he said.
