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 surfaced publicly on March 9, 2026. Bindhu Menon has accused Kumar of infidelity and domestic harassment, claiming she caught him ‘red-handed’ with another woman on March 7, 2026.
In response to the allegations, Ganesh Kumar has denied any wrongdoing, attributing the claims to a political witch-hunt. “My personal life is mine. The people of Pathanapuram know me well like the back of their hand,” he asserted, emphasizing his long-standing political career as an MLA for five consecutive terms.
Menon’s accusations have led to significant political repercussions, with Jeby Mather, an MP, calling for Kumar’s ousting from the Cabinet. Additionally, the Kerala Students Union has petitioned the State Police Chief to take action against Kumar for domestic violence.
Kumar has also criticized R Sreelekha for what he perceives as interference in his personal life, questioning, “Who is Sreelekha, after all, to interfere in my personal life?” This statement reflects the heightened tensions surrounding the incident.
As the situation unfolds, V.D. Satheeshan has demanded an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the police’s inaction in addressing the allegations. The political landscape in Kerala is becoming increasingly charged as various factions respond to the controversy.
Bindhu Menon has further alleged that Kumar’s staff attempted to take her mobile phone during the incident, adding another layer to the accusations. Kumar, however, has claimed that he has been honest about his affairs, suggesting that the allegations are part of a broader smear campaign coinciding with Assembly election cycles.
Details remain unconfirmed as the political fallout continues to develop, with various stakeholders in Kerala closely monitoring the situation. The coming days may see further actions taken by political figures and law enforcement as the allegations are scrutinized.
