A day after the Enforcement Directorate raided the office of I-PAC, the political consultancy firm was ready with a campaign song for Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress. “Though the song was ready, the video was completed after the day of the raid,” said a source. ADVERTISEMENTIf – and that is a big if – the raid at the I-PAC office was aimed at derailing the Trinamool’s campaign for the impending Assembly elections, it has missed the mark by more than a mile. Regular exchanges are taking place,” a senior minister in the Mamata Banerjee cabinet told The Telegraph Online on condition of anonymity. Though the ripple effects of the raids continue to be felt in Calcutta and Delhi, the I-PAC team has been at work on carrying through with the projects and programmes that are on.
