By: WE Staff | Wednesday, 23 August 2023

BRS MLC K Kavitha has thrown her weight behind Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's proposal to increase Lok Sabha seats, reserving a significant one-third for women leaders. Amidst a charged political discourse, Kavitha has rebuked leaders from the BJP and Congress for their critiques of BRS's decision to field seven candidates in the Assembly elections. With unwavering determination, she underscored that realizing women's reservations in politics necessitates concrete legislative action rather than mere rhetoric.

Lashing out at the BJP, Kavitha squarely blamed the party for failing to enact the long-awaited Women's Reservation Bill, amplifying her point by labelling TPCC president A Revanth Reddy as 'Godse sitting in Gandhi Bhavan'. Directing her challenge to both major political players, Kavitha demanded clarity on their plans for elevating women's representation during the crucial ticket distribution process in Telangana.

Responding to Union Minister Kishan Reddy's statement, Kavitha pointedly accused the BJP of reneging on its own manifesto commitment to women's reservations. She urged the party to uphold its promises and take action.

Praising the resolute stance of CM K Chandrasekhar Rao, Kavitha commended his proposal to reserve one-third of Lok Sabha seats for women, interpreting it as a genuine step towards women's empowerment.

Kavitha's critical gaze extended to the Congress as well, highlighting the party's lackluster efforts in championing women's reservations. She underscored the discrepancy by pointing to the sparse presence of women in ministerial positions in Karnataka. In a searing indictment, Kavitha accused TPCC president Revanth Reddy of stifling dissent and undermining democratic values.

Kavitha's outspokenness has injected vigor into the discourse surrounding women's participation in politics, emphasizing the need for tangible action over mere words. As her voice reverberates across the political spectrum, the call for equitable representation gains momentum.
