Karunanidhi, Ms. Khushbu, who campaigned for the party during the recent Lok Sabha elections, said her toil for the party had remained a \u201cone-way\u201d road, indicating her disappointment at not being recognised in the party rank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven that my dedication and toil will continue to remain a one-way road, the work that I have undertaken is giving me mental agony,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n<p>On twitter, she pointed out that she would always have the greatest regard for Mr. Karunanidhi, who she said, was like a father. Also, the actor ruled out joining any other party.<\/p>\n<p>While it is not clear whether her resignation had been accepted, she had to face a number of controversies in the party over the years. In 2013, a remark she made on the succession battle in the party offended followers of DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin.
