In a letter to party president Sonia Gandhi, Ms. Kushboo said, “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 in the party for any monetary gains, name or fame. Few elements seated at higher levels 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 has also extended her thanks to former Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Congress sacked Sundar as AICC spokesperson with immediate effect after she sent her resignation letter to party president Sonia Gandhi.
