Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 474
For Adani, the existence of the power company also has political significance, and it is not all about money.

India is facing a power shortage, so Adani Power has a say. Whoever controls the power supply will have a much louder voice and can improve their political status.

In addition, many of Adani’s factories also require a large amount of electricity. Relying on government electricity is unreliable. What will happen if there are power outages every now and then?
Therefore, we have to rely on our own power generation to ensure a relatively stable power supply to the factory.

Adani has its own ports, its own shipping fleet, and overseas coal mines, such as the high-quality coal mines in Australia.

He can transport the coal back and transport it to the power plant through his own port using the railway he built. Since it is all his own, he can minimize costs and increase competitiveness.

Before Lao Xian became rich, he hooked up with Adani and the relationship between the two was extremely close.

In Lao Xian's election, Adani was behind the scenes cheering for him, providing various funds and public support.

For these, the old immortal naturally reciprocated.

If Adani was just an ordinary rich man before, now his Adani Group is rapidly becoming like Tata Group and Reliance Group.

In just a few years, the Adani Group will be able to catch up with the Tata Group and the Reliance Group, and even directly put Adani on the throne of the richest man in Asia and the second richest man in the world.

It is precisely because of the strong support from Laoxian that Adani's net worth has skyrocketed hundreds of times in just one or two years.

If Adani gets too much, it will definitely make many people jealous.

Especially from the opposition side, there will definitely be a counterattack.

This was also one of the reasons why the People's Party suffered a Waterloo in the third general election.

During the years when Lao Xian was in power, India's nominal GDP grew rapidly, but there was too much water in it.

In order to make the data look good, even cow dung is included in GDP.

In fact, whether a country's economy develops or not depends on whether the people's living standards improve.

For the Indian people, their living standards have actually declined.

The Make in India plan proposed by Lao Xian has completely failed.

In the later period of his administration, the proportion of manufacturing in the country actually dropped by several percentage points compared to the early days of his term.

You have to know that manufacturing is a major job creator. If it drops by several percentage points at once, more people will lose their jobs.

The unemployment rate has increased, the income of ordinary people has decreased, and they have to bear the impact of various inflationary factors.

For ordinary people, the economic situation will definitely become worse.

Of course, that doesn't mean everyone becomes bad.

At least the likes of Adani have become richer.

During the years when Lao Xian was in power, the number of rich people in India increased, and the wealth of these rich people increased significantly.

This means that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Therefore, many people have seen the true face of the People's Party, and the decline in support rate is expected.

Rotten picked up Kanina.

Suddenly, Kanina couldn't help but exclaimed.

"You don't need to worry too much about this election. You have to take this opportunity to give me a child." Roton laughed.

Kanina looked shy, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Su Wei covered her mouth and giggled.

"Aren't you coming over?" Rotun carried Kanina towards the bedroom. When he reached the door, he found Su Wei still sitting on the sofa in the living room, and couldn't help but ask.

Before this, the two women served together.

"Why should I go over there?" Su Wei asked unhappily. She then stroked her bulging belly with her hand and continued, "The baby is big now and should be able to hear the noise outside. Do you want him to hear the sound of you fighting? I'm going to play some light music for him later. Prenatal education is very important..."

Hearing this, Kanina's face turned red.

Rotun laughed and carried Kanina into the house.

……

Roden put the newspaper aside after reading it.

The above content does not have much nutrition.

Although the next general election is still two years away, the major political parties have already begun campaigning.

Medium and large political parties will occasionally make some noise in newspapers to increase their exposure.

Of course, a lot of it is money they spend on advertising and publicity in these news media.

As for small political parties, they have limited funds and usually just publish articles in local tabloids.

In short, everyone has the same idea, which is to let as many people as possible know about their existence, the huge promises they have made, etc.

To win votes, they will do anything possible.

There is also some messy news.

For example, in terms of religion, this god and that god.

After reading the newspaper, Rawdon turned on his computer and browsed the news online.

Compared with newspapers, online news is more timely.

Any news will be posted online quickly.

Newspapers and the like still need to be printed, etc., and generally have a certain lag.

"Hmm?" Roton soon saw a rather interesting piece of news about the Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, Bo Wade.

The content of the news was some criticism and punishment against Bowede's recent actions, including a one-year salary fine.

"What a severe punishment!" Rotten sneered.

One year's salary is definitely a lot for ordinary people.

After all, he is the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, a very high position.

But compared to the money that Bowede usually makes, this year's salary is nothing.

He doesn't live on salary.

This punishment was a joke to Roton.

As for why Powede was punished, it was because when Powede was carrying out tax collection tasks in various states some time ago, he enforced the law improperly, which caused a bad impact on the local area.

Of course, Rawdon knew about the taxation.

The law enforcement bureau arrested many local wealthy businessmen at that time.

Especially after the telecommunications fraud case came out, in order to make more money, the guys in the law enforcement agency became more ruthless and the extortion became more severe.

This led to a strong reaction from various states, and opinions against the Law Enforcement Bureau flooded into Laoxian's side, making Laoxian feel a lot of pressure.

However, in Roton's opinion, Bowede was not punished because of this incident. It was just an excuse for the higher-ups.

The real problem lies in the telecommunications fraud case.

The scope of the crackdown by the Enforcement Agency was so large that the telecom fraud gangs were panicked and many of them fled India, which had a huge impact on India's foreign exchange earnings.

It may be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

This is the key.

However, Laoxian certainly cannot use telecom fraud to punish Bowede.

After all, these are shameful things.

Logically speaking, the law enforcement agency's crackdown on telecom fraud is normal law enforcement. They have arrested so many people and should be rewarded for their crackdown on crime.

Therefore, it is definitely difficult for the federal government to make these things clear.

So the issue of the Enforcement Directorate collecting taxes in various states was brought up.

The punishment was imposed on the grounds that the Enforcement Directorate had improperly enforced the law and disrupted the economy of the states.

The Enforcement Directorate does have significant problems in this matter, and this serves as an excuse. This also provides an explanation to the outside world and appeases the anger of various states, achieving the best of both worlds.

In fact, in Rawdon's opinion, the Enforcement Bureau's methods of taxation are somewhat harsh, but it is a good thing for the Federal Treasury.

After this period of tossing and turning, at least the Ministry of Finance received more taxes, which alleviated some of the financial pressure.

Of course, the law enforcement agency also made a lot of money.

The benefits that senior executives like Powede and Allen received privately were astronomical.

It just made a person fatter.

At this time, Roton's cell phone rang, and it was Vides calling.

Luo Dun smiled. He was used to it.

Vides would call him every few days.

"Have you seen the news?" Vides asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

This question made Luoton stunned for a moment.

It's so confusing, how would he know what the news is?

But Rotun quickly reacted.

Isn't what Vides is concerned about the law enforcement agency?
What I just saw should be what Vides is concerned about.

"What about Bowede?" Rotun asked again.

"Yeah, it's really hateful. That bastard was fined a year's salary. Is this a punishment?" Vides said dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, Rawdon smiled.

He knew that Wade really wanted to bring bad luck to Wade.

During this period, the Law Enforcement Bureau has caused quite a bit of noise, and all of it has had negative impacts.

So in Vides' opinion, the higher-ups will definitely take action against Powede.

Sure enough, the knife did cut down, but it only cut off a few of Bowede's hairs.

For Bowede, it didn't hurt at all and had almost no effect at all.

"After all, he was fined. One year's salary can be considered a punishment." said Roton.

"No, I can't let that guy get away with this," said Vides. "Brother, do you think it's a good idea for me to investigate that bastard? He's been making a lot of money privately lately. Evidence and such should be easy to come by."

"No, please don't do anything rash." Rotten was shocked by Vides's idea.

We are all in this circle, and this way of making money is actually an unspoken rule.

Besides, although Bowede made a lot of money, a lot of it was given away, for example, a lot must have been given to Finance Minister Allen.

In short, too many people are involved in this money.

In the past, Luoton had investigated corruption cases involving some bigwigs, but that was because those bigwigs were involved in trouble, the cases had a great impact, and aroused public outrage.

The higher-ups also intend to target these people, so they take action.

A guy like Powede is now the treasure of the Ministry of Finance, and even the old immortal supports him very much.

At this time, if Vides went to investigate, it would probably be a thankless task.

They may even do something bad to their own people.

After all, the current law enforcement bureau is not the same as before, and Bo Wade is not so easy to mess with.

If Poved fights back, Vides will probably be in big trouble.

"From this punishment, it can be seen that Bowede is now highly regarded by his superiors. He caused such a big incident that even foreign exchange earnings were greatly affected. If it were someone else, they would have been dealt with long ago. But he just let it go so lightly." Roton said again.

"Ah, I know all this, but I just can't get angry." Vides sighed.

Of course he could see that the higher-ups had actually excused Bowede.

After being fined one year's salary, the things that Bowede had done were covered up.

For Bowede, he has indeed gained huge benefits.

The money earned alone is a huge fortune.

There is no intention to pursue the above.

"Man, I think the CBI should keep a low profile," Rotten said after a moment's thought.

"What do you mean?" Vides asked, "Are you asking me to admit defeat?"

"I don't mean to admit defeat," Roton said. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to continue to confront the Enforcement Bureau."

"Brother, don't worry about this. I can handle it." said Vides.

"No, that's not what I mean." Rawdon sighed. "If the People's Party only lasts one term, I'll definitely support you in continuing to fight. But what if there's another term?"

These words made Vides's expression change.

"You mean the next election?" Vides said in a deep voice.

"Brother, you're more informed than I am. I think you should be able to analyze the upcoming situation, right?" Roton said. "Judging from the current situation, the People's Party has a great chance of re-election."

Vides was silent.

The Central Bureau of Investigation is indeed well-informed.

Don’t be fooled by the recent surge in power of the Enforcement Bureau, which even seems to be surpassing the Central Bureau of Investigation.

But this foundation is still not as good as that of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

After all, an intelligence network cannot be established in a short period of time.

The Central Bureau of Investigation is paying attention to and monitoring these political parties.

So I have some idea about these support rates and so on.

The People's Party now enjoys high popularity among the people and has a good support rate.

As the largest opposition party, the Congress Party's support rate is worrying.

Especially the scandals that occurred during the last period of his administration. It has not been long since then, and the people still remember them.

In addition, the People's Party will occasionally publicize these scandals and attack its opponents in various ways.

This makes the Congress Party's support rate far behind that of the BJP.

Vides doesn't dare to say that the People's Party will win the next election 100%, but there is at least an 80% to 90% chance of it happening.

Once he is re-elected, the power of the Enforcement Bureau will probably become even more terrifying.

The Enforcement Bureau will continue to receive support, while the Central Bureau of Investigation will certainly continue to be suppressed. As one grows while the other shrinks, the future is worrying.

"Brother, I understand what you mean," said Vides. "I'll think about it carefully. But even if the Enforcement Bureau becomes more powerful in the future, I won't back down just like that."

Rawdon said nothing more.

After all, everyone thinks differently.

And Rotten also knew very well that he was not Vides.

Vides basically spent his entire time in the CBI and experienced its peak.

It must still be difficult for these old folks to accept the fact that the CBI is weakening.

"Of course, I won't act rashly. I will be more cautious next time," Vides added.

"No matter how powerful the Central Bureau of Investigation is, it is still a special investigation department. Even if the higher-ups want to suppress it, it will only be temporary." Rotten said with a smile.

"Haha~~ You don't need to comfort me." Vides laughed. "But you're right, it's only temporary. The ruling party can't stay in power forever. It can serve two terms, maybe even three. What happens after that?"
