Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has claimed the current Lok Sabha must be dissolved and fresh polls held because the legitimacy of the voter lists used in the last general election is under question, adding that he is ready to resign as an MP if needed.
"The BJP came to power using this voter list. The Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Defence Minister were elected based on this voter list. Let there be fresh elections. I will also resign if needed. All Trinamool MPs and other Opposition representatives will step down. Dissolve the Lok Sabha and conduct fresh elections," said Mr Banerjee, Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and the party’s national general secretary.
Meanwhile, Kerala General Education Minister V Sivankutty also urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to carry out a re-election in the Thrissur Lok Sabha constituency, in the wake of reports of widespread voters’ list manipulation. "Gopi is scared to face the media and people. "That means he had won the election by manipulating the voters’ list and spending lakhs of rupees," he alleged.
