Re: No new university in Hyderabad
You are right. Though I was talking about taxes and tax-payers, even revenue that government collects from oil and gas, though not direct contribution of people living in the area, should be spent to develop the area and provide facilities to people, where oil and gas revenue got generated.
It means, substantial part of revenue that government generates from ‘oil and gas’ activities in these areas should be used to uplift these area in form of infrastructures, facilities, various amenities, and to create jobs in these areas.
Actually, if such is not done then people in these areas would rightly feel exploited and thus get alienated. Such feelings can create hate and even desire to get independence.
It was same feelings of exploitation that alienated Bengalies from West Pakistan, and similar feelings since discovery of gas at Sui has alienated many Balochs from Pakistan who feel exploited (because instead of Balochs benefiting from gas discovery at Sui, for whatever reason, they were ignored).
