Political Controversy Surrounds Ganesh Kumar
“The police failed to record the accuser’s statement or ensure her safety,” stated V.D. Satheeshan, highlighting the serious allegations against Ganesh Kumar that have emerged in recent days.
On March 9, 2026, Bindhu Menon publicly accused Ganesh Kumar of infidelity and domestic harassment, claiming she caught him ‘red-handed’ with another woman on March 7. This incident has ignited a political firestorm in Kerala, with various political figures demanding accountability.
Ganesh Kumar, who has served as an MLA for five consecutive terms, has vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that they are part of a political witch-hunt. “My personal life is mine. The people of Pathanapuram know me well like the back of their hand,” he remarked, defending his reputation amid the controversy.
In response to the allegations, Jeby Mather, an MP, has called for Ganesh Kumar’s ousting from the Cabinet, while the Kerala Students Union has petitioned the State Police Chief to take action against him for domestic violence.
Ganesh Kumar has also criticized R Sreelekha, stating, “Who is Sreelekha, after all, to interfere in my personal life?” His remarks suggest a growing frustration with external scrutiny of his private affairs.
Bindhu Menon further alleged that during the incident, Ganesh Kumar’s staff attempted to take her mobile phone, raising concerns about her safety and the handling of the situation by local authorities.
As the political landscape in Kerala shifts, V.D. Satheeshan has demanded an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the police’s inaction in addressing the allegations against Ganesh Kumar.
Ganesh Kumar has characterized the timing of these allegations as suspicious, noting that “such slander campaigns in my case coincide with Assembly election cycles.” This statement underscores the contentious nature of political discourse in the region.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full circumstances of the incident and the responses from the involved parties. The unfolding situation continues to attract significant media attention and public interest.
