56-year-old Subhash, an AICC member, said she had sent her resignation letter to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran.
In the letter to Mrs Gandhi, Ms Subhash said: Congress had miserably failed to understand the feelings of Mahila Congress and its workers. As a woman, I feel this is a planned neglect against us.
