Political career

She became the District Panchayat President of Alappuzha in 1995 at the age of 29.[2] She remained in the position until 2004. In 2004 Sujatha defeated Ramesh Chennithala of Indian National Congress (INC) by a margin of 7,414 votes in the Mavelikara constituency.[3] Sujatha is the first CPI(M) candidate who has contested the elections in the party symbol to win from Mavelikara, which is considered to be a traditional UDF stronghold.
