Confusion looms over the fate of Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC)’s activities in West Bengal, escalating after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee pledged job opportunities to its Kolkata staff. Initially, reports emerged that I-PAC had instructed its Kolkata employees to take a 20-day break, but Trinamool Congress quickly refuted this claim, asserting no such pause in operations.
During an election rally in Hooghly district, Banerjee assured that I-PAC employees could transition to Trinamool Congress if necessary, ensuring employment. She criticized the BJP for allegedly pressuring the consultancy firm and attempting to influence the upcoming state polls. Banerjee highlighted ongoing raids by the Enforcement Directorate and accused the BJP of targeting her party members.
Alleging biased actions by the central government, Banerjee condemned the raids on Trinamool leaders’ residences while questioning the absence of similar searches at BJP officials’ homes. She indirectly targeted Suvendu Adhikari, insinuating discrepancies in the treatment of different political figures. Banerjee emphasized her commitment to providing employment and safeguarding her party members against external pressures.
