Khushbu Sundar New Delhi/IBNS: In a jolt to the country's oldest political outfit, Tamil Nadu Congress leader Khushbu Sundar on Monday quit her party amid rumours of her joining in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), media reports said.
Rumours gained pace on Sunday night as Sundar flew to the national capital New Delhi where she is likely to join the saffron camp.
In her resignation letter to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, Sundar wrote she felt in the party "pushed and suppressed" by people who had no connection with ground reality.
Sundar had remained in the Congress for six years.
If Sundar joins the BJP, it would be a shot in the arm for the saffron party ahead of the 2021 assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.
Though the saffron camp is ruling in various states across the country, the BJP has not been able to main gains in the southern state of Tamil Nadu which has been dominated by regional parties over the years.
