MUMBAI - A spokeswoman for India’s main opposition Congress party quit on Friday and joined a group allied with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party, complaining that misbehaviour towards her by male Congress members was ignored.
“A serious incident and misbehaviour against me by certain party members while I was on official duty for the party has been ignored under the guise of all hands needed for elections,” Chaturvedi wrote in the letter to Congress President Rahul Gandhi, and posted on Twitter. India’s staggered general election began on April 11 and will end on May 19. Votes will be counted on May 23.
She said the male party members she accused of misbehaviour were reinstated this week after being suspended. “Every time a member of the Congress family, every single worker who leaves, it’s a matter of pain for us,” he said.
