Thiruvananthapuram/Ettumanoor:
A day after she resigned as Mahila Congress chief and tonsured her head in protest following denial of ticket, Lathika Subhash on Monday quit the party and decided to contest as an independent for the April 6 assembly election from Ettumanoor in Kottayam.
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.
