KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet should resign and the Lok Sabha be dissolved if the Election Commission says there are discrepancies in the electoral rolls.Banerjee, who is the national general secretary of TMC and considered the number two in the Mamata Banerjee-led party, said that the “EC cannot selectively say” that the voter list is fine in some states such as Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, but not in West Bengal, Bihar or Tamil Nadu.”If SIR (special intensive revision) of electoral rolls is conducted, it should be held across the country and the first step should be the resignation of the prime minister and his cabinet and the Lok Sabha has to be dissolved,” he said.The TMC leader claimed that if the present government has been elected on the basis of the same voter list, then the legitimacy of the central government is null and void.
