London [UK], October 7 (ANI): Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha who is on her two-day visit to the United Kingdom has said that Women's Reservation Bill does not include the OBC women, so "we will continue the fight until they are included".
Speaking to ANI, K Kavitha said, "It's very important to include women from every stratum. When I say women, women of every caste, every community, every financial status, all of them are to be included. Unfortunately, this bill (Women's Reservation Bill) that we passed right now, does not include the OBC women. So we will continue the fight until they are included because they are a large section of our Indian society."

Upon her visit, the Joint Secretary of the Federation of Ambedkarite and Buddhist Organisations UK Pankaj Sham Kumar addressed the gathering in honour of the MLC visit and efforts towards strengthening Babasaheb Ambedkar's ideology.
"I was very happy to know that when the formation of the Telangana state was happening then, in 2012, she (Kavitha) sat on a dharna demanding Baba Saheb's statue in the Telangana assembly, and later when the state was formed that statue was installed. It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the Federation of Ambedkarite and Buddhist Organisations UK to welcome you," he said.
