West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari wrote to Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw, requesting him to conduct an urgent enquiry into the alleged “unholy and illegal collusion” between the West Bengal state administration and the Indian Political Action Committee ( I-PAC), a political consultancy body that assisted the Trinamool Congress.
“I have written to the Hon'ble Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji, requesting an urgent enquiry into the alleged unholy and illegal collusion between the West Bengal Administration and the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC),” Adhikari said in his X Handle post.
In his X Handle post on August 8, Adhikari had written that “there is mounting evidence that I-PAC associates, who are employees of a private political consultancy firm working for the ruling Trinamool Congress, have infiltrated our State Government & Administration.”
Adhikari claimed that “they were reportedly issuing directives to senior officials, including WBCS Executive Officers and WB Cadre IAS Officers. This is a blatant misuse of power, blurring the lines between party politics and public service, and potentially draining our state exchequer to fund TMC’s campaign management agency.”
“This could be a financial scam as well and a betrayal of the trust of every citizen of West Bengal. I have urged the Hon'ble Minister to conduct a thorough investigation through the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to ascertain: 1. Digital trails of unauthorized I-PAC involvement in WB Government communications. 2. Misuse of State IT resources by non-governmental entities. 3. Violations of data privacy and cybersecurity norms. 4. Illegitimate payments, if any, from public funds to I-PAC. This is not just an administrative issue, it’s a threat to our democracy. I am committed to fighting this systematic rot,” Adhikari wrote in his X Handle post.
