The Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), led by Rishi Raj Singh, who previously worked with the YSR Congress party (YSRCP) under Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in Andhra Pradesh until the recent elections, currently has no immediate engagements with any political party in the country.
Sources indicate that after YSRCP’s poor performance in the last assembly elections, the I-PAC team has struggled to find new clients.
Their strategies, including slogans like "Why not 175" and "Siddham," failed to resonate with voters, resulting in the YSRCP securing only 11 seats.
Following the defeat, I-PAC closed its operations in Vijayawada, downsized its team, and relocated to Hyderabad.
Attempts by the I-PAC team to collaborate with other political parties during recent elections have been unsuccessful, as no party has shown interest after witnessing their performance in Andhra Pradesh.
It is believed that the I-PAC team has re-initiated discussions with Jagan Mohan Reddy, expressing interest in assisting YSRCP for the next elections. However, there has been no significant response from YSRCP leadership so far.
Nonetheless, sources suggest that Jagan may consider re-engaging I-PAC in some capacity, possibly limiting their role to campaign work.
Given I-PAC’s familiarity with the party’s operations and its connections with grassroots leaders, it could be more convenient for YSRCP to work with them rather than bringing in a new consultancy, which would require starting from scratch.
