New Delhi: Amid speculation of actress Khushboo Sundar joining BJP, Congress removed her as party spokesperson on Monday.
"Smt. Khushbu Sundar is hereby dropped as AICC Spokesperson with immediate effect," said a statement from Pranav Jha, party Secretary In-charge of Communications.
Congress sacked her as AICC spokesperson after she sent her resignation letter to interim president Sonia Gandhi.
In her letter to the Congress chief, she said that some top leaders of the grand old party, who don't have any connect with the ground situation are dictating terms in the party, whereas the members who really work hard are being suppressed.
Khusboo who joined Congress in 2014 after leaving DMK left for New Delhi on Sunday, sources said, to meet BJP leaders.
She was likely to join the BJP today in presence of J.P. Nadda ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections due next year.
