Kerala local body polls: Agali panchayat president quits after Congress threatens legal action over election with LDF support

N.K. Manju, Congress member and Agali panchayat president, resigned on Monday morning after only two days in office following the initiation of legal proceedings against her by the Congress under the anti-defection law. The Congress had sought Ms. Manju's disqualification from the post after she was elected with the support of LDF members, drawing ire from the UDF. Ms. Manju stated that she did not want the LDF’s support and would continue as a Congress worker.
