Keep urging constituents to raise money (5)
I believe the answer is:
rupee
'money' is the definition.
(currency of India)
'keep urging constituents to raise' is the wordplay.
'constituents' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'constituent' mean this).
'to raise' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'eepur' is hidden in the letters of 'keep urging'.
'eepur' written backwards gives 'RUPEE'.
(Other definitions for rupee that I've seen before include "available without capital holds up" , "Indian monetary unit" , "foreign money" , "11 [LOLLY] in Kerala" , "Indian money unit" .)
