Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 465 Losing Terribly

Logically speaking, the Congress Party should not get involved in the power struggle within the Tata Group.

For outsiders, it is best to stand by and watch this kind of thing.

Getting involved might bring all kinds of trouble.

Is the Tata Group so easy to mess with?
But this time, the Congress Party seems willing to provide some help to Cyrus.

This is almost standing in opposition to the Tata family.

This surprised Roton a little.

"I wouldn't say they agree, but at least they have that intention. However, the Congress Party hasn't made up their mind yet," said Vides. "Don't be surprised, actually. I think the Congress Party probably needs to use the Cyrus incident to stir up some big fuss so they can put pressure on the BJP. These political parties are good at stirring up trouble."

Roton couldn't help but smile. That's basically it.

These parties will do anything to create trouble for their opponents.

They may say they are doing things for the country and the people, but they are actually calculating in their hearts.

"Is it related to some recent events in the Congress Party?" Roton pondered in his mind, thinking about some recent developments in the political arena.

"It's definitely related," said Vides. "It's the National Herald case."

Luo Dun understood, it was indeed the case.

The National Herald case is a relatively famous case in India, not because of the huge amount of money involved.

The amount involved is only tens of billions of rupees, which is not worth mentioning compared to those major cases involving hundreds of billions of rupees or even tens of billions of dollars.

The reason why it is famous is because the identities of the people involved in the case are unusual.

Just a few days ago, the Enforcement Directorate summoned Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul in this case.

Of course, Sonia and Rahul have not yet gone to the Enforcement Directorate, making excuses for various reasons.

At the same time, they also mobilized various public opinion forces to confront the Enforcement Bureau, claiming that this was a conspiracy of the BJP and a political persecution of the Congress Party leaders.

To put it bluntly, it is still a struggle in the political arena.

It is a form of suppression of the Congress Party by the BJP.

The case first arose in 2013 when senior BJP MP Subramanian Swamy filed a lawsuit accusing Sonia and her family of misusing Congress party funds and privileges to acquire The National Herald at a very low price.

Because the newspaper holds extremely valuable real estate, even if the newspaper goes bankrupt, the purchase price should not be that low.

Due to poor management, the print edition of The National Herald was discontinued in 2008 and was later acquired.

The National Herald is currently owned by Young India, a non-profit organization founded by Sonia and Rahul, with each holding a 38% stake in Young India.

It can be said that it belongs to the Gandhi family.

The operation here is actually quite common.

That is, the National Herald owed the Congress Party nearly 10 crore rupees, and later "Young India" paid the Congress Party 500 lakh rupees to obtain the right to collect the debt.

Through various operations, Young India successfully took over the National Herald.

This is equivalent to the Congress Party providing nearly 10 billion in benefits to the Gandhi family. To put it bluntly, it is embezzling public funds within the Congress Party.

Of course, it can be said that the bigwigs within the Congress Party must have agreed to this kind of embezzlement.

Who could object to such a thing?
The Congress Party was in power at the time, so the lawsuit naturally did not cause any stir.

Things are different now. Now that the People's Party has come to power, this matter can be brought up.

The status of the Gandhi family in the Congress Party is obvious. Targeting the Gandhi family would be a huge blow to the Congress Party.

In addition to this, the National Herald has a considerable influence.

Since the National Herald was acquired and put under the management of Young India, it has started to develop online and its influence in news has been growing.

This naturally became a propaganda weapon for the Congress Party.

The BJP brought up this adult case not only to undermine the prestige of the Gandhi family, but also to suppress the Congress Party's propaganda tool.

As far as Roton knew, the handling process of this case was not that easy. After all, the two people involved were not ordinary people, and they encountered strong resistance from the Congress Party.

Even in the end, there was no result.

It seems that the Congress Party has won because Sonia and Rahul were not convicted, which has withstood the pressure from the BJP.

But in Roton's view, the Congress Party actually lost miserably.

This case has been going on for so long, and the People's Party has been summoning the parties involved from time to time, perhaps to the court, the law enforcement agency, etc. In short, everyone takes turns to be summoned, regardless of whether you come or not.

This led to this case being mentioned frequently in the following years.

The People’s Party’s news media will report extensively, which will continue to brainwash the people.

In the long run, this has invisibly weakened the prestige of the Gandhi family.

It also reduced people's favorability towards the Congress Party.

Who would be willing to support a political party with so many problems?

The People's Party has been carrying on with this case for so long, most likely intentionally doing so to drag it out and not close the case.

After all, the People's Party must be well aware that even if they want to close a case, it is not that easy. A lawsuit may last for more than ten or twenty years without any result.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to put these two people in jail, so this method is used to constantly offend the Congress Party.

"I'm afraid it's not enough for the People's Party to use this case to put two people in jail," said Roton.

"That's right, but it will also keep the Congress Party busy for a while, which is definitely not going to be easy for them." Vides laughed, "So, the Congress Party probably wants to create some trouble for the BJP in other ways, or pay some other attention to it.

"No matter what the Congress Party is up to, and whether or not it truly supports Cyrus, it's definitely good for Cyrus in the short term," said Roden. "It seems Cyrus should be able to continue his entanglement with the Tata family."

Cyrus was abandoned by the Enforcement Directorate, which is a running dog of the BJP.

It does make sense that the Congress Party is now approaching Cyrus to create trouble for the BJP.

"If Cyrus, this guy, didn't recognize the situation and stopped in time, there wouldn't be too big a problem. But if he continued like this, the consequences would be serious," said Vides.

"You are not him. Only he knows what he is thinking." Rotten said with a smile.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows how powerful the Tata family is. His Mistry family is far inferior to the Tata family. If he could use the dismissal of the chairman to gain some sympathy from the people and use it to put pressure on the Tata family to get some benefits, I think the Tata family might agree to it in order to calm the situation. But the Tata family will definitely not agree to his crazy counterattack now," said Vides.

"This is probably due to Cyrus' past experiences," Rotten said. "From what he's experienced, he's never encountered any major setbacks or failures. Everything has been smooth sailing, and he's enjoyed great success. His mentality is completely different from that of ordinary people because of his constant success. This time is definitely a huge blow to Cyrus, and he can't swallow it."

"Your point makes sense," Vides agreed. "But he's courting death right now. Does he really think the Tata family is good-tempered?"

Roton smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that what Vides said was right.

Cyrus was dying.

"Just treat it as a fun thing," said Rotten.

"Haha~~ That's right." Vides laughed and said, "These things have nothing to do with us."

This was the normal routine for Rotten and Vides, keeping in touch, discussing work, etc. Although Rotten no longer worked for the CBI, he could still give Vides some advice over the phone.

This made it quite easy for Vides to deal with the law enforcement agency.

Vides has accepted the strong rise of the Enforcement Bureau.

You have to admit it.

At the beginning, the Central Investigation Bureau was still very uncomfortable with the rise of the Enforcement Bureau.

They believed that this was a provocation from the law enforcement agency and fought back strongly.

But now, the situation is different.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has a different mentality. They now only hope to keep their power. As long as the Enforcement Bureau does not go too far, they can tolerate it.

Of course, we must not show weakness in our external statements and must remain tough.

But deep down, I have already accepted the dominance of the law enforcement agency.

There is no way. The Enforcement Bureau has received various supports from the old immortals. In this regard, even Rajnath has to give in.

Bowede came to Luoton's office again after three months.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you today," said Bowede.

"Are you going back to New Delhi?" asked Rawdon.

"Yes, the matter in Mumbai is now concluded," said Bovede. "Thank you for your help during this period. If it weren't for the cooperation of the Mumbai police, who knows how much longer this work would have dragged on."

Bovede stayed in Mumbai for almost three months.

He has been coming here since the demonetization incident.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he has been in Mumbai for the past three months. He must have gone back to New Delhi during this period, but it is true that he spent most of his time in Mumbai.

Because of the incident of wealthy and powerful people hiring people to exchange money, Bovede arrested a lot of people in Mumbai.

In fact, this kind of thing was happening all over India at the time, with people being hired to exchange large amounts of currency.

Even though a lot of people have been arrested in Mumbai, other places still need to hire people to exchange money.

This kind of thing cannot be controlled or managed at all.

Bovede took action against some guys in Mumbai, especially because he had been too close to Cyrus before. He wanted to take action against Shapur to prove to the outside world, especially to the Tata family, that he was not on the same path with the Mistry family.

It is precisely because of this that Poved gave Shapur special care. Shapur was badly beaten by Poved and suffered heavy losses this time.

The Mistry family's wealth has shrunk significantly.

"You're welcome. It's what I should do." Rotun said with a smile.

This time, Bowede's gratitude was sincere.

If it weren't for Rawdon's strong support, his operation in Mumbai would not have been so smooth.

This case of hiring people to exchange currency was handled perfectly.

He has already received great praise from Minister Arun.

This is a great achievement.

He had accomplished a great deed and was in a very good mood.

Another thing is that he gained huge benefits from this case. It can be said that from top to bottom, all the investigators got a lot of money.

So my gratitude to Luo Dun is sincere.

Of course, he also wanted to improve his relationship with Rotten.

After returning to New Delhi from Mumbai, Bovede immediately went to the Finance Minister's office to report to Arun.

"Very good, you did a great job this time. Even the Prime Minister praised you." Allen smiled after listening to Bowede's report.

Of course, what Bowede brought him was good news.

In fact, he was very clear about what was happening in Bombay.

Because in the past few months, Bovede gave him a lot of money, all of which were obtained from the rich people in Mumbai.

How could he not know what was going on over there during this period?
Who doesn’t like a subordinate who can make money for him?

So he still respects Bowede very much.

"It is thanks to your instructions, sir, that I have achieved these results," Bowede said hurriedly.

Allen smiled. He still enjoyed Bo Wade's flattery.

"Sir, I noticed that you didn't look very well just now." Bowede asked again.

When he came in just now, he saw that Allen's brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he had encountered some troubles.

Normally, he shouldn't ask such questions.

But Bo Wade still cares about Allen. If the boss has any trouble, wouldn’t it be better if he can solve it himself?

"Something about work," Allen sighed. "You say people outside envy me for managing the finances, but how could they possibly understand the difficulties and pressures I face? I'm asking for money everywhere. The army needs money, I need money to purchase weapons, and government departments also need money. Where does this money come from? The national treasury is seriously short of money right now, so where can I get it from?"

Allen was indeed a little worried because he had no money.

The people below asked him for money, but he could only delay.

With this delay, the people below must have been dissatisfied and were definitely cursing at him in private, which made Allen very upset.

A good cook cannot cook without rice, and this is his current predicament.

When Bowede heard this, he realized that this was the case.

Of course he was aware of the Ministry of Finance's lack of funds.

After all, he is also a member of the Ministry of Finance.

In fact, financial losses are not a problem that only arose after Allen took office, it has always existed.

Various grants and so on should be delayed as much as possible.

For those that cannot be delayed, send them down in smaller quantities. Only send out 10% or 20% out of 100 to get by. When it really reaches the grassroots, most of this 10% or 20% will probably be intercepted. How much will be left?
What else can I do?

But even so, the Ministry of Finance often finds it difficult to cope with even 10% or 20% now.

Now Allen is taking money from one pocket to pay for another. If he continues like this, he won't be able to hold on any longer.

"Sir, I have an idea." Bowede said with an idea in mind.

As a subordinate, I should help my superior solve his problems.
