In a memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister, Mr Reddy requested his attention to several bilateral issues that are pending between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Mr Reddy said Rs 36,625 crore is pending under the resource gap funding for the financial year 2014-15, and demanded its immediate release. He also asked for the debt ceiling of Rs 42,472 crore, which was provided in 2021-22 and reduced by Rs 17,923 crore during the Covid pandemic, to be enhanced.
