Ganesh should resign after beaten up by lover’s husband, says George

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief whip P C George Sunday asked Minister K B Ganesh Kumar to resign from the cabinet after he was allegedly beaten up by his lover's husband.

George told reporters in Kottayam that he came to know on February 22 that the minister was beaten up by the woman's husband, but did not speak about it.

"This came as a news report in a vernacular newspaper today (Sunday), but it does not name the minister. The minister who got beaten up is Ganesh Kumar. I am naming him because I do not want to keep the other 19 ministers' names under a cloud. Ganesh should resign," said George.

According to the news report, the incident occurred at the official residence of the minister here.
