Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee has called for the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet, alongside the dissolution of the Lok Sabha, should the Election Commission confirm discrepancies in electoral rolls.

Banerjee, TMC's national general secretary, argues that the EC cannot selectively validate voter lists, asserting it must ensure uniformity across all states, including West Bengal, Bihar, and Tamil Nadu.

The TMC leader questions the legitimacy of the central government if elected on flawed rolls, claiming the BJP selectively conducted voter list revisions where they fear electoral defeat, and calls for a nationwide roll revision.
