This is indeed a black day for our assembly," Chandy said after Left membres sought leave for the motion.<br /><br />The motion was related to the alleged problems between Forest Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar and his doctor wife, Yamini Thankachi.<br /><br />The Left move followed media reports that said the minister's wife had met Chandy and handed over a five-page letter detailing how she had been ill-treated by her husband but the chief minister did not accept it.<br /><br />Communist Party of India-Marxist's A.
