Khushbu Sundar quit the party on Monday stating that some individuals at the higher level within the party are dictating terms, while people want to work sincerely are being suppressed.
In a big blow to Congress in Tamil Nadu, actor-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar quit the party on Monday stating that "some individuals at the higher level within the party are dictating terms, while people want to work sincerely are being suppressed."
Speculations are rife that she is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party. However, there has been no official confirmation from her or the party on it.
Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, Sundar said that she had joined the party post the 2014 general elections loss when it was at its lowest and had worked without the need for any recognition, fame or other gains.
"I came into the fold of INC at the time when it was at its lowest, being defeated in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. I did not walk into the party for any monetary gains, name or fame. Few elements seated at higher level within the party, people who have no connectivity with the ground reality or public recognition are dictating terms and people like me who wanted to work for the party sincerely, are being pushed and suppressed," she wrote in a letter addressed to Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
"After a long thorough thought process over a period of time, I have decided to end my association with the party. Herewith I tender my resignation from the primary membership of Indian National Congress," the letter read further
Meanwhile, Sundar was dropped from the position of Congress national spokesperson by the party today "with immediate effect."
"A 180-degree turn is a tough manoeuvre to make! Good luck," Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said.
She is likely to join the BJP on Monday in presence of JP Nadda ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections due next year.
