Mamata Banerjee Slams ED Raid On IPAC Office, Accuses Amit Shah Of Stealing TMC Campaign Data

On this Special Report, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has launched a scathing attack on the Union Government following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids at the IPAC headquarters and the residence of its co-founder, Pratik Jain. The Chief Minister personally visited the raid sites in Kolkata, allegedly retrieving documents during the ongoing operation. Banerjee accused the central agency of acting as a political tool for the BJP to access the Trinamool Congress's (TMC) confidential campaign strategies and candidate lists ahead of the 2026 assembly elections. She stated, 'The nasty home minister, the naughty home minister who cannot protect the country and is taking away all my party documents.' The TMC leader further alleged that the Election Commission is operating under BJP instructions via WhatsApp. In response to the raids, Banerjee has announced a mega protest march in Kolkata to challenge what she terms 'political vendetta' by central agencies. The situation remains tense as legal battles over the search operations move to the Calcutta High Court.
