K Kavitha, an MLC representing the BRS, made an appeal to all political parties for the Women's Reservation Bill to be passed at the approaching special session of Parliament. She pleaded with them to see to it that the Centre prioritised introducing the long-overdue Bill into the Parliament.

Kavitha believed that the special parliamentary session was an excellent chance for elected officials to take a significant step towards gender equality. She expressed this belief in a letter she wrote to the leaders of all 47 political parties participating in the Parliament. She urged political parties to put aside their differences and work together to promote the Women's Reservation Bill.

The MLC emphasised the crucial part that women play in society, since they make up roughly 50% of the population. But she bemoaned the underrepresentation of women in legislatures, seeing it as a barrier to the development of the country and a weakening of democratic ideals.

In order to realise people' goals, kavitha emphasised the necessity of varied representation in legislatures and pushed for the importance of avoiding one-sided representation. According to her, boosting the number of women in politics will not only empower women but also provide a positive example for the country's millions of young girls.

The former mp said that creative initiatives had resulted from women's active involvement in political choices. She made the case that having more women in legislatures would result in more sensible laws that would benefit everyone in society. Approximately 14 lakh women are currently actively involved in public life, which helps local governments run more effectively.

Kavitha voiced sadness about the political parties' lack of commitment to ensuring that women have appropriate representation in legislatures. She recalled the lengthy pending status of the Women's Reservation Bill, which calls for a 33 percent reservation for women in the lok sabha and State Assemblies.
