Modi should resign first as PM: Mamata Banerjee on ‘arbitrary deletions’ of voters during SIR
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said Narendra Modi "should resign first," since he became the Prime Minister with the votes of the people whose names were allegedly being “deleted arbitrarily” during the SIR by the Election Commission.
Banerjee said Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar should ask the prime minister to resign.
"If Modi has become the Prime Minister on this voter list in 2024, why will those in it not be allowed to exercise their franchise now?" Banerjee said at the central Kolkata’s sit-in platform against the SIR exercise being conducted in the poll-bound West Bengal.
Asking why Governor C V Ananda Bose had to resign abruptly on March 5, Banerjee said, "Let there be an inquiry; he still had three years of his term left."
The TMC supremo also asked why Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who had earlier been the governor of West Bengal, resigned from his post in July last year.
"Should there be an inquiry into this matter?" she said.
