Anju Bobby George resigns as president of Sports Council of Kerala
The move was reportedly made following her spat with state Sports Minister E.P. Jayarajan earlier this month.
The Olympian announced her decision during the executive committee meeting of the Council, reports said.
Apart from her, other committee members also offered to resign from their posts.
"I've decided to resign from the post of president of Sports Council of Kerala. I can't stand humiliation. I've worked to the best of my ability to improve facilities for the development of sports in Kerala and nurture talents," Anju told India Today.
She was appointed to the post in November 2015. Former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy-led government was in power during that period.
