New Delhi: YSRTP chief YS Sharmila on Friday slammed Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC and Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao's daughter K Kavitha, who is leading a one-day hunger strike in Delhi seeking the introduction of the Women's Reservation Bill in the current Budget session of Parliament, saying that the whole point of fighting for the women's reservation bill came about because she has to appear before ED tomorrow, as reported by the news agency ANI.
She further said that this 33% bill is being used as a diversion tactic only to save herself. Continuing her attack on K Kavitha, the YSRTP chief noted that the women of Telangana are ashamed of her and they are also ashamed that KCR is their CM. “Being a woman she (K Kavitha) is involved in something like a liquor scam, how will the women of Telangana feel? They are ashamed of her, they are ashamed that KCR is their CM. People are humiliated by her arrest,” YS Sharmila said as quoted by ANI.

NCP leader Dr. Seema Malik, CPI's Narayana K, Samajwadi party's Pooja Shukla, RJD's Shyam Rajak and MP Kapil Sibal are also supporting Kavitha's hunger strike.
Earlier on Thursday, K Kavitha announced that a hunger strike will be carried out in the national capital on March 10 and that 18 political parties have pledged to join the protest to demand the introduction of the Women's Reservation Bill in the current session of Parliament.
The BRS leader also stated that she will endure ED because she has done nothing wrong. At a news conference today, Kavitha, who was summoned by the ED for questioning in the Delhi excise police case, said that if a woman needs to be interviewed by a central agency, she has a "basic right" to be questioned at her house under the law.
