Vijayadharini appointed Mahila Congress secretary

A month after she was removed from the post of Tamil Nadu Mahila Congress chief, party MLA S. Vijayadharani, was on Friday appointed secretary of the All India Mahila Congress.

A statement said the decision was made by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

A vocal legislator, Ms. Vijayadharani found herself in a controversy last year after her followers complained to the police against TNCC president E.V.K.S. Elangovan, invoking charges of harassment of a woman.

This more drew flak from the party high command, which saw it as a brazen indiscipline.
