Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 483 Indira 2.0
Vides knew that there had always been a conflict between Rotten and Cyrus, and this conflict had never been truly resolved.

Although the two parties involved did not expose this open and secret struggle in the news media, how could Vides, as the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, not know about it?
He saw everything Cyrus did to Sori's real estate company.

During various land auctions, wherever Sori appears, there must be SP Group.

These days, most of these land grants go into the hands of Cyrus.

Cyrus has been borrowing money like crazy recently, raising funds and spending money like water.

According to him, he is very optimistic about the prospects of the real estate industry. Although the industry is currently facing some troubles, he believes that the industry will become even hotter in a few years.

Now that the heat has cooled down a bit, you can buy land at a lower price, and the more the better.

So, there is still some secret struggle between Rotten and Cyrus.

Vides has a close relationship with Rotten, and usually helps Rotten keep an eye on Cyrus's movements.

"That's normal. The Congress Party has helped Cyrus a lot before. It's understandable that he donated money to support the Congress Party's election campaign." Rotten smiled.

"It's normal, but unfortunately, the Congress Party is clearly no match for the BJP," Vides said with a smile. "I'm afraid his political investment won't yield much of a return."

This kind of donation is political speculation and the intention is to get something in return.

Unfortunately, the People's Party is too powerful now, and Cyrus' investment is basically going to go down the drain.

Moreover, anyone who funds the Congress Party will definitely be targeted by the BJP and will be hated by them.

Now that the People's Party has complete control over the Enforcement Bureau, it is very easy to use the Enforcement Bureau to crack down on these wealthy businessmen.

It can be said that it is completely consistent. How could these guys not have financial problems?
"It's your own choice." said Rotten.

"The Civilian Party seems very calm. What are your plans?" Vides asked again.

He knew that Rotun had a close relationship with the Civilian Party.

Kanina is Rotun's woman, it is impossible to hide it from Vides.

Moreover, the main members of the Civilian Party are basically related to Rotun, especially the women of Rotun who played an important role in it.

He found that the People's Party was very different from other political parties, too bland, and seemed to be completely unconcerned about the election.

"This election is crazy," said Roton. "As for the Civilian Party, we'll just let things take their own course. As long as we can hold on to a few seats, we won't expect to surpass our current level."

In order to win votes, these political parties are going crazy, making all kinds of promises, giving out money and gifts. In short, the cost is extremely high.

Inflation is serious, and so is the price of ballots, which are getting more expensive with each election.

India's general election can be said to be the largest election in the world.

More than 9 million people voted. Just based on this number of people, only China can compare with other countries.

The cost of this election is also the highest in history.

According to Roton's memory, the various expenses of this election were nearly 90 billion US dollars, which was more than 2016 billion US dollars more than the 20 US presidential election. It was the highest in the world and could be applied for the Guinness World Record.

A large part of this is the cost of buying various tickets.

If you don't give benefits to those voters, will they vote for you?
Of course, even if you give money, they may not necessarily invest in you.

There are also various local gangs mixed in here, and political parties use the gangs to reach the grassroots civilians.

Generally speaking, these gangs are still intimidating in the local area, and civilians dare not refuse to surrender after receiving the money.

The general election is a feast for countless people, and almost everyone from top to bottom can benefit.

"Your mentality is still really stable." Vides sighed.

Those political parties are indeed crazy, just wanting to get more seats and so on.

"There's nothing we can do. The People's Party has such a huge advantage this time," said Roton. "It goes without saying that they'll still dominate the party, with a majority of seats in Parliament. So, what's the point of other parties getting more votes? For the People's Party, there's really no difference between one seat and ten. But the price paid for one seat and ten seats is worlds apart."

"You calculated it very clearly." Vides said with a smile.

He agreed with Rodon's statement, and the People's Party would still have the final say and dominate the country.

Therefore, no matter how many seats other political parties hold in parliament, they will never exceed half, which means that they still do not have much say in front of the People's Party.

It's okay as long as Roton doesn't fight this time.

As for other political parties, they are trying to build momentum and canvass for votes, but they will not admit defeat.

Are we going to give up now when we haven't even started yet?
They didn't think one party could get a majority.

Especially for the Congress Party, they only hope that their alliance can win more than half of the seats so that they can form a government.

The past five years have not been easy for the Congress Party and the opposition parties.

After the BJP came to power, it was quite harsh in its purge of the Congress Party, and many people were imprisoned.

So the Congress Party is full of hatred and wants to avenge its previous humiliation.

In this election, the Congress Party has tried its best.

"It's not a question of clarity. Facing the increasingly powerful People's Party, there's no harm in keeping a low profile," said Roden. "Those with a lot of votes might be targeted by the People's Party, which would be bad."

The People's Party will certainly suppress its opponents in various ways, especially those parties with many votes, which will definitely be the top priority.

These political parties may be allies of the BJP, and even if they are allies, the BJP will definitely keep them in mind.

In order to maintain your leading position, you must always be wary of people around you.

Those with more votes will definitely be regarded by the People's Party as potential threats in the future, and various overt and covert suppression will be inevitable.

With the Enforcement Directorate as its dog, the BJP can do many things without any bottom line.

Roton had a clear understanding of the Populist Party's position.

During the People's Party's second term, it mainly kept a low profile.

After all, this is the peak of the old immortal's power, and avoiding his edge is the best option.

Because during this term, the People's Party was too strong, even his allies could hardly get any good positions.

There is no way around it. The seats of the People's Party alone are enough, and the voice of other allies becomes very weak.

In fact, during the first term, the People's Party was also the dominant party, but it had just come to power and had to put on a show and win over its allies, so it gave its allies some good positions.

In the second term, the People's Party's position began to become stable, so there was no need to take back many benefits as in the first term, and many allies might not even get a share of the benefits.

In Luoton's opinion, during the second term, the People's Party became a little too arrogant and too strong.

Offended many allies.

These allies stabbed the party in the back, which was also an important reason for the BJP's third general election defeat. They wanted to eat alone, which made the BJP's allies feel very unfair.

However, the People's Party is also in a very good position.

This is the first time since 1984 that a single party has won a parliamentary majority twice in a row.

In the past, the Congress Party and others had to form alliances and form a coalition government because they did not have a majority of seats.

"Alas, I have a feeling that the Central Bureau of Investigation will have an even harder time in the future," Vides sighed.

The strength of the People's Party is not a good thing for him.

"Hold on a bit, I believe things will change one day." Roton said with a smile.

"It's like a dark cloud covering the sun, with no sunlight visible," said Vides with a wry smile. "Think about it, the People's Party will be in power for the next five years. Won't the Enforcement Bureau be in trouble?"

"Take it slow. The higher you praise someone, the harder they will fall. The Enforcement Bureau is in such a good position now, but if it falls into disgrace in the future, what will be its fate?" said Roton.

"I understand. The key is still these five years. Or even more than these five years," said Vides. "What about the next election? I wonder if other parties can defeat the People's Party?"

Vides is still pessimistic about the future.

After all, with the People's Party being so strong, it can serve not only two terms, but even three.

This possibility seems very high at the moment.

This is simply the end of the world for the Central Bureau of Investigation.

No matter how strong the Central Bureau of Investigation is, it cannot withstand more than a decade of suppression from the government.

What will it look like then?

Vides couldn't imagine it.

"Tolerate."

"It's easier said than done," said Vides.

He is already enduring a lot of pain now, and it can be predicted that the law enforcement agency will become even more severe in the next five years.

This is definitely a dark moment for the CBI.

"Don't think too much. When that time really comes, you will have retired long ago. That will be something your next generation will have to worry about." Rotten comforted him.

"That's true, but I've worked in the CBI for most of my life and have feelings for it. I don't want the CBI to continue like this." Vides sighed.

After Vides and Rotun complained a little, the depression in their hearts dissipated a lot.

After all, you can only talk about such things with someone you can trust.

……

"The Congress Party is really trying its best." Su Wei leaned against Luoton, watching the news report on TV and said with a smile.

Rahul Gandhi was giving speeches and canvassing for votes everywhere.

Not only him, but also his sister Priyanka Gandhi has made another comeback.

Priyanka was born in 1972. Indian media often portrays her as the "national goddess". Because her speech and behavior are inherited from her family and she looks very similar to her grandmother, India's first female Prime Minister Indira, Priyanka is called "Indira 2.0" by netizens.

Born into a political family, he received the best education since childhood and was naturally not left behind in politics.

Priyanka is more popular and politically savvy than her brother Rahul.

However, Priyanka has become very low-key in recent years, only handling some affairs for the Congress Party and rarely appearing in public.

Some people say that this is because the Gandhi family needs to nominate Rahul to the top, and Priyanka needs to give way.

After all, Rahul is a man, and preference for boys over girls is inevitable in India.

There is also a scandal that Priyanka's husband received huge kickbacks from military purchases between the Indian government and France.

Therefore, Priyanka can only keep a low profile. If she is too high-profile, she will definitely be attacked by her opponents. She does this because she does not want to be targeted by her political opponents.

Speaking of which, Priyanka is more popular among the people. In addition to her own abilities, her husband is a low-caste Shudra.

She was a Brahmin. A high-caste Brahmin marrying a low-caste Shudra won the favor of countless low-caste poor people.

Today, Indian society, especially the political arena, is full of various political correctness phenomena, with women and low castes being the main ones.

Lower caste politicians, especially those in lower caste political parties, are dominant.

Because low-caste people make up the majority of India's population, they have the most votes.

Normally, these upper castes act superior and do not treat the lower castes as human beings.

But when it comes to general elections, these low-caste votes are really attractive, and their number is too huge.

If a high-caste woman like Priyanka wants to get more support from low-caste votes, the only way is to marry a low-caste husband.

Having a lower-caste husband can at least make those lower-caste voters feel as if they are standing with them.

Of course, although Priyanka's husband is a low-caste Shudra, he also comes from a wealthy family with a long heritage.

The kind of Hollywood movies where a rich Brahmin girl falls in love with a poor man of a lower caste, elopes and has a happy ending in the end, does not exist in reality.

The reality is that low caste people can do this, at least their families have to be wealthy.

Do you really think a toad can eat swan meat?
However, even so, Priyanka's act of marrying a Shudra still won her the support of many low-caste people.

The lower caste people regard this as their glory and a victory for the lower caste.

Just like the lavish wedding of the son of India's richest man, showing off his wealth in various ways, this is clearly exploiting the lower classes, but in the eyes of these lower classes, they are still very proud...

This time, Priyanka was appointed by the Congress Party as the Uttar Pradesh General Secretary, responsible for managing the party's affairs in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh, and took office almost immediately.

This appointment was actually made with a view to this election.

Uttar Pradesh, the magical Uttar Pradesh, is well known to everyone.

Since Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India, the seats in the general election are based on the population ratio, and states with larger populations have an advantage. Uttar Pradesh has 80 seats in the Indian federal parliament, which is enough to influence the direction of the general election.

There is a saying in Indian politics that 'whoever wins Uttar Pradesh wins the world', and 80 seats is astonishing, so this saying is indeed true.

Therefore, Uttar Pradesh is a must-fight place for all major political parties.

Especially for political parties that want to become the ruling party in India, they must fight to the death here.

Losing Uttar Pradesh basically means failure in the general election.
