Prashant Kishor Resigns As Principal Advisor To Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh

Mumbai: The Trinamool Congress on Thursday rubbished reports of differences and differences between the party and Prashant Kishor’s I-PAC, saying the party and I-PAC under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership work as a team and cooperate in future as well.

“There is absolutely no merit in the hugely speculative and unsubstantiated reporting regarding the difference of opinion or working relationship between TM and I-PAC,” the party tweeted from its official handle.

On Wednesday, Trinamool MP Derek O’Brien said that the I-PAC of Trinamool and Prashant Kishor are not the same, which was seen as an attempt to draw a line between the two. The Rajya Sabha MP said I-PAC is a political ally with some deliverables, but the agency or any of its officials does not necessarily reflect the party’s opinion, PTI reported.

“TMC is the first political party who have hired I-PAC for five years and they have certain deliverables to do. I-PAC has reach-out on the ground, communication and social media. All this is evaluated by the national working committee chaired by (West Bengal Chief Minister) Mamata Banerjee,” Derek said.

The party’s tweet put an end to speculation that senior Trinamool leaders were not happy with Prashant Kishor’s growing clout within the party, which was prompted by former Meghalaya CM Mukul Sangma and former Goa CM Luizinho Faleiro to speak to Prashant Kishor. Later it became clear after moving to TMC.
