In letter to Kharge and Sonia, Kavitha seeks withdrawal of GO
New Indian ExpressHYDERABAD : BRS MLC K Kavitha on Monday wrote letters to AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi opposing the state government’s decision to provide horizontal reservation to women, instead of vertical reservations, in direct employment. She recalled that though the high court directed the state government to implement the Supreme Court’s verdict given in Rajasthan case, the then BRS government informed the high court in January 2023 that the government would not implement the apex court’s judgement as it would render injustice to the women. However, the Congress government withdrew the counter petition on February 6 and issued a GO to follow the apex court’s verdict and implement horizontal reservations, she pointed out. The BRS leader also requested Kharge and Sonia Gandhi to direct Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to withdraw the latest GO issued on horizontal reservations for women.
