Ahead of her appearance before the Enforcement Directorate in a case related to Delhi’s excise policy scam, BRS leader Kavitha K began her a day long hunger strike as she demanded the Centre to introduce a woman reservation bill in the parliament.
“If India needs to develop at par with global players, then women in Indian politics need more and more representation. Therefore, the women reservation bill becomes much more important. It has been pending for 27 years, and many women organisations have tried to work on this,” BRC MLC Kavitha said.
