Shillong, Oct 29: Former union minister of state for rural development Agatha K. Sangma of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Monday expressed her discontent with the manner in which she was "dropped" from the council of ministers, ahead of the Sunday reshuffle.




On Saturday evening, a communique from the Rashtrapati Bhavan stated that President Pranab Mukherjee had accepted the resignation of seven union ministers, including Agatha Sangma, based on the advice of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The young parliamentarian alleged that the NCP had made use of a resignation letter she had written on July 23, 2012, during a crisis in ties between coalition partners Congress and NCP.

Agatha Sangma said: "It is very inappropriate that they submitted a resignation letter which was for a different purpose. I feel they should not have done it."
