ED raided the office of I-PACK in Kolkata last Thursday (January 08, 2026) in the coal scam case. On Friday (January 09, 2026), BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal gave a big statement on the ED raid on I-PAC office. He has even discussed Jan Suraj Party.

‘Will you work with the money or invest?’

Sanjay Jaiswal said, “I-PAC has been a very controversial company from the beginning… Even in Bihar, I-PAC had spent Rs 60 crore of its money on Jan Suraj Party… Why was it spent? You are a political consultancy firm, so will you take money to work for the people or invest the money in political parties?”

Sanjay Jaiswal also attacked Mamata Banerjee

He also said, “Just as Ravan’s life was in the navel, similarly Mamata Banerjee’s life is in the coal mafia and human traffickers. This is why there is a raid on a person’s house and the Chief Minister herself goes there and steals hard disks from there, steals papers… There was no raid in her party office, there was no raid at any of her places…”

Mamata Banerjee is with the mafia: Sanjay Jaiswal

They had hatched a similar conspiracy in Jharkhand also and they got success in Jharkhand. I Pack is not a political consultancy firm. The work of I-PAC is to form the government, to topple the government… to work by taking money from the mafia… This shows that Mamata Banerjee is with the mafia. This also means that the file of all the scams of Mamata Banerjee was there with which she has fled. The government should also take cognizance and file an FIR against Mamata Banerjee.”

ED on Thursday conducted a search operation in the office of I-PACK in Kolkata in the coal scam case. During this time, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been accused of influencing the ED investigation and tampering with evidence, which has given rise to a new political controversy. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded the arrest of Mamata Banerjee in this case.

In Purulia, West Bengal, BJP leader Rahul Sinha accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of influencing the ED investigation after the raid on the I-PACK office in Kolkata and demanded her immediate arrest.

Mamata Banerjee and her nephews are going to be trapped: BJP

He said that earlier also in the coal scam, there were raids on the houses of TMC leaders, the Chief Minister did not even look in that direction, but during the raid in the office of I-PAC, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee intervened and tried to influence the investigation because Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee are going to be implicated in this case.

West Bengal BJP President and MP Samik Bhattacharya, on the ED raid on the I-PAC office, said that a raid is being conducted by a government organization, the Chief Minister reaching the same place and snatching the evidence from his hands, this has never happened anywhere in India till date.

Interference in government work, evidence also snatched: Bhattacharya

The BJP leader said that a person holding a constitutional post is not only interfering in government work but is also snatching evidence. Who do they want to save? He wants to save people involved in Hawala cases and scams. The society does not expect this from any Chief Minister. Today is a dark day for West Bengal. He said that the people of West Bengal have decided that they will destroy TMC in the upcoming assembly elections.

If investigation was needed then why raid was not done earlier: TMC

At the same time, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said that BJP is accused of misusing ED. If there was really a need for investigation in any case then why was nothing done earlier? Now that elections are approaching and IPAC is taking advice from us on election campaign related matters, all our election campaign planning is with I-PAC.

Mamta Banerjee took documents with herself: ED

Let us tell you that ED alleges that during the search operation conducted by the agency on Thursday, Mamata Banerjee entered the residential premises of Prateek Jain and took important evidence including physical documents and electronic devices with herself.

The Chief Minister’s convoy then proceeded towards the office premises of I-PAC, from where Mamata Banerjee, her associates and state police personnel forcibly removed physical documents and electronic evidence. The above action has resulted in obstruction of the ongoing investigation under PMLA.
