Kerala Assembly witness uproar over Ganesh Kumar issue

The Kerala Assembly today witnessed uproarious scenes with the opposition LDF disrupting the proceedings demanding resignation of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy over former minister K B Ganesh Kumar's resignation following charges of domestic violence.
The slogan shouting LDF members trooped into the well of the House accusing Chandy of shielding Kumar and not acting on the complaint by Yamini, the wife of the former minister.
As the opposition kept up the protest demanding that the submission of its leader V S Achuthanandan on the issue be taken up as the first item in the Zero Hour, Speaker G Karthikeyan asked the government to rush through the agenda and adjourned the House ahead of the day's schedule for the second consecutive day.

Kumar, the lone member of Kerala Congress (B), a minor partner in the UDF, was forced to resign in the wake of his wife lodging a police complaint accusing him of subjecting her to domestic violence.
Police also registered separate FIRs yesterday against Kumar and Yamini on their respective complaints.
