Actress Khushboo quits DMK

Chennai, June 17 (ANI): Actor-politician Khushbu, one of the most prominent faces of the DMK, has quit the party and reportedly hit out at the party leadership for ignoring her "hard work". Khushboo, a star campaigner of the M Karunanidhi-led DMK, announced her decision to quit the party on a day when it announced plans to restructure its district units as part of its revamp plan to prepare for the 2016 assembly elections. Reacting over this DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan said that Khushboo has not given any reason for her resignation but it seems she was not happy in the party.
