In an embarrassment to the Congress in Kerala, party's women's wing President Lathika Subhash on March 14 resigned from the post. Lathika Subhash was hurt over the denial of Ettumanoor seat to her. The 56-year-old senior leader also shaved her head sitting in front of the Congress office in Thiruvananthapuram as a mark of protest. Subhash, who met reporters at the party headquarters Indira Bhavan, soon after the KPCC chief Mullappally Ramachandran announced the party list at New Delhi for the April 6 Assembly polls, said it was short of women candidates. Of the list of 86 candidates released by the Congress, only 9 are women. A weeping Subhash said she had tonsured her head as a mark of protest for all the women in the party who have been toiling hard for the success of other candidates, have been sidelined & ignored by the leadership for years. Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, Ramesh Chennithala, said the party had tried its best to include everyone and there are many able leaders who have not been given ticket for this election.
