Kishan Reddy Demands 50% of Hyderabad Revenue for City Development
Hyderabad is a big city in India, and a lot of money comes from it.
A minister named Kishan Reddy said the city is not getting its fair share of money.
He said Hyderabad gives a huge part of its earnings to the state.
But he says very little of that money comes back to help the city.
He says the government spends most of the money on new technology areas.
That leaves the older parts of the city feeling forgotten.
He wants the government to spend half of the city's money on the whole city.
He also said some of the city's worker departments are running out of money.
So he asked the state's Chief Minister to help make things fair for everyone in Hyderabad.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy demanded that at least 50 per cent of Hyderabad's revenue be spent on the city's development.
He claimed Hyderabad contributes 70 per cent of Telangana's revenue but less than five per cent is spent on the city.
He alleged both the previous BRS government and the present Congress government focused on IT hubs like Hitech City, Kondapur, and Madhapur.
He said neglected areas include Sanathnagar, Secunderabad, Musheerabad, Amberpet, and Khairatabad.
He urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who holds the Municipal portfolio, to act, citing financial problems at the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and Hyderabad Water Works.
