Reports of a possible temporary pause in I-PAC’s operations in West Bengal have sparked a fresh political controversy ahead of the Assembly elections. An internal email allegedly directed employees to take a 20-day leave till May 11, citing legal issues as the reason behind a temporary halt. The Trinamool Congress has denied the claims, calling them politically motivated and part of a BJP attempt to distract from growing support for Mamata Banerjee. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also hinted at a broader conspiracy without directly naming the consultancy. The issue has gained attention following recent Enforcement Directorate action involving an I-PAC co-founder in a money laundering case. BJP leaders claim the development reflects the consultancy distancing itself from the ruling party. However, Trinamool sources maintain that campaign operations continue on the ground. The situation has intensified political debate as West Bengal heads into a crucial election phase.
