The political developments gathered pace on Monday when senior leaders, including Firhad Hakim and Aroop Biswas, were seen in the special session of the rival faction at a five star hotel in the eastern fringes of the city.
The Enforcement Directorate issued a statement and rubbished West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's allegations. It said the raids on the I-PAC premises were not targeted at any political party and were linked to a coal smuggling case.
I-PAC was founded by political strategist Prashant Kishor ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, and is currently working with the Trinamool Congress and the state government run by it. The collaboration started after the 2019 General Elections, and was seen as a key driver of the landslide won by the TMC in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly Election.
