TMC Challenges BJP's Alleged Intimidation Over I-PAC Operations

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has dismissed as baseless reports that political consultancy firm I-PAC had suspended its operations in West Bengal. Accusations have been leveled at the BJP-led central government for allegedly plotting to disrupt the TMC's campaign efforts through intimidation tactics.

Following media reports that I-PAC directed its employees to cease work temporarily, TMC issued a statement affirming the consultancy's continued engagement with their campaign. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has emphatically responded, promising to absorb any displaced I-PAC employees into the TMC.

Amidst increasing political and legal tension, including I-PAC's involvement in alleged coal smuggling, the TMC accused central agencies of exacerbating pressures on the consultancy. The situation further complicates as the matter is under Supreme Court consideration.
