Ganesh Kumar is at the center of a massive scandal following serious allegations of infidelity by his wife, Bindu Menon. She claims to have caught the minister in a compromising position with another woman in their bedroom. Bindu further alleged that the minister\u2019s staff attempted to snatch her phone when she tried to document the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The controversy has taken a political turn as Bindu claims she alerted Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan&#8217;s daughter, Veena, about the event. Ganesh Kumar, a five-time MLA and chairman of the Kerala Congress (B), is no stranger to such controversies; he previously resigned as a minister in 2013 over similar accusations by his first wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denying the allegations, Ganesh Kumar dismissed them as a &#8220;political conspiracy,&#8221; stating, &#8220;Love is not a crime; it is a personal matter.&#8221; However, the United Democratic Front (UDF) has launched a blistering attack on the government. Opposition leader V.D. Satheesan questioned the CM\u2019s claims of women&#8217;s safety, asking, &#8220;If a minister&#8217;s wife cannot get justice, how can ordinary women expect any?&#8221; With assembly elections approaching, the ruling LDF faces mounting pressure, leaving many to wonder if CM Pinarayi Vijayan will force the minister to step down to save the government&#8217;s image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala Transport Minister K.
