Telangana Rashtra Samiti leader K Kavitha Thursday raised the pitch for women's reservation, calling for more political will to realise the objective speedily.

"If the Women's Reservation Bill could be passed with the same speed with which the bill on economically weaker sections/general category reservations has been passed in both the houses, our country would be truly progressive", she said.

"We need more political will behind reservation for women," added Kavitha, the Nizamabad Lok Sabha member and daughter of TRS supremo and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, on twitter.

The Parliament had on Wednesday passed the Constitutional Amendment bill guaranteeing 10 per cent quota in education and employment to economically weaker sections in the general category.

The Upper House nod came a day after the Lok Sabha approved it on Tuesday.
