Kavitha writes to 47 political parties seeking support for Women's Bill

HYDERABAD: Demanding that the BJP-led NDA government introduce the 33 per cent women's reservations Bill in the special Parliament session starting on September 18, BRS MLC K. Kavitha on Tuesday wrote to the presidents of 47 political parties including the Jana Sena, TD and YSRC seeking their support for the smooth conduct of discussions and passage of the legislation if the Centre moved on the matter.

She called upon them to set aside political differences and prioritise the passage of the Bill.

In her letter, Kavitha underscored the pivotal role women play in the Indian discourse and the pressing need for their representation in legislative bodies. She highlighted the proof of concept provided by the 14 lakh women active in public life, demonstrating their ability to lead and govern effectively.

The BRS MLC said that increased women's representation was not a matter of exclusivity but a means to build a more equitable and balanced political landscape.
