LUCKNOW: TMC’s drubbing at the hands of BJP in the Bengal assembly polls has endangered the chances of political consultancy firm, I-PAC, closing its deal with Samajwadi Party for the 2027 UP assembly polls.A source said Akhilesh Yadav has not been keen on hiring I-PAC as he went through the agency’s presentation at the instance of TMC leadership. IPAC, founded by Prashant Kishor, has been curating TMC’s poll campaign since 2019.“So far, I-PAC had just made a presentation before the SP brass on their blueprint of the campaign design. There was no formal exchange on anything beyond that,” said a party functionary.
