"I announce my resignation. I have not yet sent the letter," Natarajan told reporters, adding that she was anguished.
"I feel that the time has come now for me to rethink my association because what happened in the recent past. The Congress is no longer the Congress that I joined," said Natarajan, who was with the party for over 30 years.
