Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 439 Ace
"Okay, as long as it's not those two, anyone will do. It has nothing to do with us." Vides was too lazy to think about it.

Rajnath said that becoming the defense minister made him depressed for a while.

Now that he had said this to Rotun, he had finally let it go.

This is a big deal, Rotun thought to himself. He was not as optimistic as Vides.

But these are still hidden in my heart, it’s hard to say.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, brother. I'm really tired of managing the CBI." Vides sighed.

"The law enforcement agency has indeed put a lot of pressure on you, but I believe you will be fine, brother," said Roton.

"It's not all about the Enforcement Bureau. There are too many problems internally," said Vides. "Too many people are just not doing their jobs. I really want to clear out all those bastards."

Vides' words surprised Roton: "Brother, this is not a good joke."

"I really want to do this," Vides sighed, "but it's too difficult. Especially with the Enforcement Bureau watching closely. If things get chaotic here, it'll give them an opportunity. So, I can only drag it out like this. I've only made small moves and taken down a few, but the deterrent effect isn't great."

Luo Dun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There are huge problems with the Central Bureau of Investigation. How could Roton not know about it?

But as a privileged institution, how easy is it to rectify it?

Roton dared to say that if Vides really wanted to carry out a large-scale cleanup of internal personnel, his tenure as director would probably be over.

Because Vides will harm the interests of countless people.

The power behind these people is huge and can influence some government decisions.

In other words, the government will definitely put pressure on Vides, and at that time Vides will basically have no choice but to resign as director of the Central Bureau of Investigation early.

Roton knew that there was no way Vides didn't know this.

Therefore, even if Vides is dissatisfied with these internal personnel, he will not really carry out any major rectification.

I'm just saying this to vent.

The selection of Minister of Defense was soon announced.

After all, it is an important position and it cannot remain vacant for too long.

The final candidate was naturally Nirmala Sitharaman, and the course of history has not changed.

Nirmala's rise to power can be said to have surprised many people.

Because Nirmala is definitely not the favorite.

People like Rajnath and Arun are among the strongest contenders, and they are the most popular.

In the minds of many people, one of these two people should come to power.

Because both Rajnath and Arun have clearly stated that they want to compete, and have also been making various moves, which has created quite a bit of public opinion.

I didn't expect the final result would be like this.

There are many opinions in the public opinion about a woman serving as Minister of Defense.

Even if it's about political correctness, no one would have much objection to women holding high-ranking positions.

But it always feels weird to have a woman hold the position of Secretary of Defense.

However, the old immortal has already decided on this matter and it has become a foregone conclusion.

Even if these news media raise further doubts, they will not cause much trouble.

After Nirmala became the Defense Minister, she did not resign from her former position as the Commerce and Industry Minister and continued to hold the position concurrently.

In this government, many ministers do not hold only one position, and one person may hold several ministerial positions.

This time the post of Defence Minister was vacant suddenly and Nirmala is now holding the position concurrently.

Lao Xian claimed to the outside world that he only allowed Nirmala to serve as the Minister of Defense temporarily.

When a suitable candidate is found, the candidate will definitely be replaced.

This is also an important reason why the news media did not continue to question anything.

Because the old immortal's reason can still be explained, so everyone doesn't have such a big objection.

It's just a temporary transition, so it's not a big problem.

But they would not have thought that what the old immortal meant by "temporarily" was not a short period of time. It was not until a few years later, during his second term, that Nirmala was appointed as the Finance Minister.

There are still several years until the next general election, and it can be said that Nirmala will wield enormous power during these years.

A woman, which is still a rare politician in India.

The previous one was probably female Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

With the selection of the Defense Minister finalized, Indian politics has gradually returned to calm.

While Vides breathed a sigh of relief, his heart soon began to lift again.

I was worried before whether Rajnath would be transferred to the position of Defense Minister, which would have an impact on the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the same was true for the Enforcement Directorate.

Bowede and others also have this concern.

Once Allen is transferred to the position of Minister of Defense, will the new Minister of Finance still be able to do the same as Allen?

Can he continue to enjoy the Prime Minister's great respect and does he have the courage to continue fighting against the Central Bureau of Investigation?

With such concerns, the Enforcement Agency has been under much less pressure on the Central Bureau of Investigation during this period.

Because the management of the Enforcement Bureau is also somewhat uneasy, the future is full of uncertainty.

Now everything is fine, nothing has changed, and everyone can continue doing what they should be doing.

All kinds of pressure from the law enforcement agency came again.

Vides felt helpless in the face of the law enforcement agency's crazy attacks and various investigations.

He has issued many orders from the Central Bureau of Investigation, but only a small percentage of these orders can be actually executed.

It's completely incomparable to the work enthusiasm of the law enforcement bureau.

Roton naturally paid attention to the affairs between the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Bureau.

Roton had no good solution for these.

He has not been assigned any tasks from the Central Bureau of Investigation.

There were a few times when Rotten really couldn't stand it and mentioned to Widdes that some cases could be handed over to him.

There is not much for Rawdon to do at the New Delhi Police Station right now, it can be said that there is basically nothing to do.

For others, such a day would definitely be a good thing.

But for Rawdon, that's not so good.

If nothing happens all the time, it means it's hard to achieve any credit.

Roton wanted to get promoted quickly by doing some big things.

The power of the Enforcement Directorate is growing, especially when the next government comes, that woman Nirmala will be in power.

Time waits for no one. Rotun must improve his position as much as possible during this relatively idle period and strive to gain greater power.

If I just wait like this and rely on time to gain experience, I'm afraid I won't be able to move up one level in ten years.

If you want to achieve something, especially a big achievement, you must take risks.

For those major cases, risks mean opportunities.

Otherwise, how can the higher-ups give me a promotion?

Vides did not agree to Roton's request. What he meant was that Roton should not act rashly. This was his trump card.

If Rotun had to do everything, Vides would feel a little helpless.

There are so many people in the CBI, they can't just focus on one person and let Rotten do all the work, right?

Faced with the Enforcement Directorate's aggressive attack, the Central Bureau of Investigation also launched a counterattack. Under the pressure of Vedras and Rajnath, some of the previously inert individuals finally succumbed to the pressure and began to become slightly more active.

After all, this time it was the director of the headquarters and the Federal Minister of the Interior who joined forces. If the higher-ups really took drastic measures and removed some of them, it would be difficult to deal with them even if they had someone behind them.

Before, Vides had gotten rid of some people to make an example of them, so they didn't care too much.

Because that was Vides who was doing it. Judging from the number of people Vides dealt with, Vides was obviously still very afraid of everyone and did not dare to expand the scale.

Now, they can also feel the aggressive momentum of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

If the law enforcement agency becomes too powerful, their interests will also be harmed.

During this period, they could clearly feel the decline in the authority of the Central Bureau of Investigation, which affected their status and power.

In this regard, they are still willing to stand with Vides and Rajnath.

This is not just a fight for the CBI, but also for one's own interests.

Roton knew in his heart that the CBI would not be defeated all at once, after all, it had been powerful for so many years.

The Law Enforcement Bureau is now aggressive, but its foundation is still far from enough.

The two sides will definitely need to stalemate for a while. To be precise, at least during Lao Xian’s first term, the Central Bureau of Investigation can still have the upper hand.

After all, it is his first term and the old immortal has just taken office. It is not good to do some things too much and he will be more restrained.

He will keep many of his ideas until his second term, by which time he will have almost reached his peak.

Since its defeat, the Congress Party has been trying hard to make its presence felt in front of the public.

The telecom case and the coal mine scandal have severely damaged the reputation of the Congress Party.

However, at that time the Congress was the ruling party, but now that it has become the leader of the opposition party, it can do more freely in many matters.

Spokespeople from the Congress Party would come out from time to time to criticize the policies of the BJP, and many times, Lago would do so personally.

Although Rajo's speeches often cause a lot of trouble for the Congress Party, he still insists on showing up frequently.

Rotun understood what Largo was thinking.

Or because of Lago’s young age, he was able to become the leader of the Congress Party purely because he was born into a good family.

Therefore, there are still many doubts about his promotion and his ability.

Largo now needs to take various practical actions to dispel all kinds of discordant voices and win more support from the people.

As an opposition party, they will certainly criticize the government's inaction, especially some of its bad policies.

Only through various criticisms and questioning of the ruling party’s policies can the people see that the mistakes made by the ruling party are detrimental to the people’s interests, etc.

It can be said that this kind of incitement still has a market.

For example, after Laoxian came to power, he launched the "Make in India" program.

This plan is ambitious and aims to make India a new world manufacturing center.

We must vigorously develop India's manufacturing capabilities in areas such as automobiles, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace, while creating employment and income growth opportunities for local people.

In order to achieve this goal, the People's Party has made a lot of efforts.

Under the leadership of Laoxian, the Indian Land Acquisition Act was amended.

Relaxation of land acquisition clauses will make more land available for industrial development.

It is not easy to expropriate land in India because the land is privately owned, especially most of it is concentrated in the hands of large landowners.

These big landlords are local bullies, and they collude with local officials in various ways, and their relationships are complicated, so this kind of land acquisition work is basically difficult to complete.

When these big landlords want to expropriate land, they ask for exorbitant prices, which the government simply cannot afford.

That is why Laoxian modified the land acquisition clauses, which allows the government to better expropriate land, at least with the support of legal clauses.

Another thing is to amend the labor law to reduce the difficulty for companies to recruit workers.

In fact, many times it is not that companies do not want to recruit workers, but that India’s labor laws are very strange.

Once an employee is hired by a company or factory, it is basically impossible to fire him. Even if you fire him, the price you pay will be extremely heavy.

Because India has trade unions, the original intention of these unions is definitely good, which is to protect the interests of workers.

But now, it has changed.

In order to pursue their own interests, the trade unions use these workers in disguise to threaten companies, extort money, etc.

Even many trade unions have been infiltrated and colluded with those political parties, becoming a very important link in the political struggle.

For example, various political parties would organize strikes and marches from time to time.

All of this is inseparable from the support of these trade unions.

Because the union can gather a sufficient number of workers to march more quickly, increase the momentum of the march, and put more pressure on the government.

Moreover, the law generally favors the workers. Even if it is a problem of the workers, it is basically impossible to fire them.

It is possible that a lawsuit could last for several years or even more than ten years, and in the end there may be no result.

During this period, the company's factory still has to pay employees' wages as usual.

This has led to Indian companies not wanting to grow bigger and not wanting to hire too many workers.

Many of them are in the form of small workshops, so as to avoid various troubles such as trade unions.

Since the enterprises are not large in scale, production efficiency and quality cannot be improved.

The next step is to enact new laws and regulations to allow women to participate in some previously closed occupations, thereby releasing India's demographic dividend.

The participation rate of women in the workforce in India is very low.

Especially women after marriage are basically required to do housework, take care of children, etc. at home, and are not allowed to go out to work.

According to Indian customs, if a woman goes out to work after getting married, she is exposed to the public and is immoral.

Reform the tax system.

India's tax system is complex and confusing.

Local states have their own taxes.

For example, if a car is transported from one state to another, it will have to pay some taxes again.

Because this state does not recognize the taxes you pay in other states.

Even within a state, different counties and districts may have different taxes, which are basically duplicate taxation, and you have no choice but to pay.

This reform aims to integrate these taxes and collect them uniformly by the federal government. This will benefit businesses and effectively reduce taxes and costs.

This is actually a way for Laoxian to centralize power, because it can control more financial revenue and cut off a lot of financial revenue of local states.

Take back the power to tax.

With one increase and one decrease, the power of the federal central government naturally increases.

Adjust India's import and export tariffs to create a better environment for foreign investment in India.

Improve India's basic education and health levels, and fundamentally change the spiritual outlook and quality of the Indian people.

I have to say that these policy plans are definitely correct and there is a set of them.

If this is truly implemented, India will really be moving towards the bright future envisioned by the old immortal.

But the problem lies in execution and implementation.

This is really difficult in India.

Roton knew that during the old man's first term, that is, five years later, these policies basically had no progress and could be said to have ended in failure.

Of course, there are some bright spots.
