Political consultancy is back in focus after TMC, whose WB campaign was handled by I-PAC, suffered huge defeat. Here’s a look at how poll strategists built 'Rs 1,500 cr' industry.
Though Trinamool did not officially confirm shutdown of the agency, it reiterated, in a press conference Monday, that all I-PAC employees will be taken care of.
The PMLA case stems from fresh FIR filed by Delhi Police’s EOW, alleging the directors of I-PAC hatched conspiracy, falsified accounts & handled unaccounted funds.
Senior West Bengal Police officers filed affidavits before the Supreme Court in response to ED’s writ petition, which alleged obstruction during the raid on I-PAC office in Kolkata last month.

What is the success rate of ipac when it works for opposition parties as opposed to when it works for ruling parties ( before the 2026 debacles)? This statistic alone can show what is the actual forte of ipac. It needs state power to succeed. Ask any bengal guy and he will tell u what devastation ipac has done
Political parties should do their own research. Instead of outsourcing the job.
Perhaps, we should create a common infrastructure, for political campaigning, like giant TV screens at major road intersections, displaying ads of every political party, one after the other.
Then political funding will not be a necessity anymore. Everyone will get equal chance.
