'Clear my name in media, least you can do': Ex-LS MP Ramya tells Congress

Indian film actress and former Lok Sabha MP from Karnataka Divya Spandana aka Ramya on Thursday asked Congress leader KC Venugopal to clear her name in the media regarding reports which said that she had duped the Congress of Rs eight crore when she quit the national party. She further stated that she didn’t run away and resigned from the party for personal reasons and claimed that the story was planted to discredit her credibility.

She was subsequently removed from the post, as per ThePrint. As the Congress’ social media head, Ramya was known to post hard-hitting tweets, but she also found herself courting controversy on multiple occasions — including a tweet deriding Narendra Modi. Divya joined the Indian National Congress in 2012 as a member of its youth wing. She won a by-election in 2013 but was subsequently defeated in the 2014 Ggneral elections. At 31, she was one of the youngest parliamentarians in the country.
