But I did not come here to lose,” she said firmly as reported by The Indian Express.

According to Shweta, Ansiba’s resignation letter, as mentioned earlier, was based on personal reasons and did not contain allegations against Tiny Tom. “We tried contacting Ansiba after the complaint surfaced, but she did not answer the phone,” she revealed.

Despite the criticism and pressure, Shweta insisted that she remains strong and committed to solving the issues within AMMA.
