Sanjay Raut backs Kalyan Banerjee’s criticism of I-PAC, says issue extends beyond Bengal

Published by Webster

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday said that the statement made by Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee regarding I-PAC is not just Bengal’s story but extends to several other parties in Bihar and other states. Raut Shares Banerjee’s Criticism of I-PAC Taking it to X, Raut elaborated that Banerjee said, “IPAC has taken over the Trinamool Congress organisation and completely ruined Trinamool. IPAC sowed discord among potential candidates. In every assembly constituency, many were told, ‘Your feedback is the best, you will get the ticket.’ Those who didn’t get the ticket became resentful and started helping the BJP. Prashant Kishor is an opportunist. He has weakened political parties across the country. We must remain cautious of him.” Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here. All rights belong to their respective owners.
