The correct option is C Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

The Gentlemen's Agreement was passed in 1956 and this agreement supposed to help the people of Telangana and Andhra live in peace, and safeguard their interests.

But, over a period of time, discontent over non-implementation of Gentlemen's Agreement was build up in Telangana region. There were three main causes for this:

• Diversion of surplus revenue from Telangana to other regions of the state. The Gentlemen's Agreement had clearly stated that any surplus revenue would be used for the development of the Telangana regions.
• There was discrimination in employment in the government sector.
• Violation of the Mulki rules, i.e., the people of Coastal Andhra working in Telangana regions were granted domicile status.
