Mamata Banerjee to kick out Prashant Kishor’s I-PAC in WB, Tripura & Meghalaya, maybe Goa too?

KOLKATA: The ruling party in West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is moving ahead to sever its ties with Prashant Kishor’s Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), a report by the Anandabazar Patrika, which was further reported by the Free Press Journal of Mumbai today, claimed.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself has taken up the matter amid widespread protests across West Bengal over candidates’ list for civic polls.

According to the report, Prashant Kishor texted Mamata Banerjee saying I-PAC doesn’t want to work with TMC in Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya, two days ago. In reply, Banerjee wrote, “Thank You”.

Among others, state ministers were not happy with I-PAC’s influence over government departments.

Earlier in December last year, reports of rift between the two emerged, though the TMC dismissed reports of a difference of opinion between the party and I-PAC.
