‘Won’t let employees lose jobs’: Mamata Banerjee defends I-PAC, accuses BJP of intimidation
Banerjee said that she would not allow even a single employee to lose their job and would include them in her political party if necessary. This comes amid reports that I-PAC, whose co-founder Vinesh Chandel was recently arrested by the ED, has decided to temporarily suspend all its operations in West Bengal for 20 days.

Trinamool denied these allegations and said they were baseless and a deliberate attempt to create confusion on the ground. Addressing a poll rally in Tarakeswar, Banerjee said, “Every day they raid our offices through the ED. They have fifty organisations. We have only one.” he said. I-PAC has been closely associated with Trinamool’s election campaigns since 2021.
LIMITATION
Banerjee hit back at PM Modi over women’s reservation and claimed that “we defeated him together”. Banerjee said, “If the Lok Sabha elections are held with 543 seats, Modi will be defeated. That is why he wanted to increase the number of seats to more than 850. He will be defeated again in the coming days. He wanted to divide the country. It is now a minority government.” he said.

“The women’s reservation bill was passed in 2023. We all supported it. It received more than 450 votes. Why has that law not been implemented yet? Don’t you dare lie against us,” he said. Banerjee also claimed that the real purpose behind the delimitation was to break up the country. “You had planned to divide Bengal,” he said.
