Hitting back at the Bharatiya Janata Party chief G. Kishan Reddy and the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy for trying to fault the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leadership for giving tickets to only seven women candidates, MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha dared the two parties to bring in a legislation for women’s quota in in the legislatures.
Reacting to the remarks made by the two leaders on Monday after the BRS announced its first list of 115 candidates that had seven women candidates, Ms. Kavitha sought to know from Mr. Kishan Reddy, as to why the BJP leadership could not get the Women’s quota Bill passed in the Parliament when it had comfortable majority.
Responding to the criticism on a social media platform, Ms. Kavitha said: “Your concern for women’s rights is astonishing. With overwhelming majority in the Parliament, BJP can table and pass any Bill. Your party has even refused to entertain its two-time manifesto promise of Women’s Reservation Bill.”
