Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 524: Untouchable Minister
Hermit has studied it and judging from the recent situation, the old immortal has become more and more trusting of Nirmala.

Although he is also the old immortal's confidant, his importance is obviously not as great as Nirmala in some work assignments.

The old immortal handed over many important matters to Nirmala. If they were finance-related matters, it would be fine, but the problem was that many of them were obviously matters of other departments.

This is a very bad signal.

Vides is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Since he has always focused on the Central Bureau of Investigation, this is contrary to the interests of Laoxian.

Ermit felt that Nirmala might be planning an action against Vides.

Although this kind of thing sounds a bit shocking, once that woman goes crazy, who can guarantee that she won't do it?

Especially the old immortal is now very supportive of her actions.

Of course, there is no evidence for these Hermitian claims, so I might just be overthinking it.

Besides, he is also a member of the People's Party.

What Nirmala is doing now is indeed in the interests of the BJP.

This puts Hermite in a somewhat awkward position.

He should not be too biased towards Vides, especially when Vides' ideas are not conducive to the People's Party.

"Be careful." Hermite sighed.

He still didn't want anything to happen to Vides.

During this period, his cooperation with Vides was actually quite good.

If the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation were to be replaced, who knows what would happen?
Unless he is like Nirmala, but Ermit thinks Nirmala's methods are too radical.

In the short term, the effect is immediate.

But in the long run, that may not be the case.

This atmosphere of terror will sooner or later backfire.

But Nirmala is too powerful now. If the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation really needs to be replaced, she will definitely intervene.

When the time comes and the CBI director is replaced, he might even side with Nirmala.

Even if this candidate is designated by Nirmala and Laoxian, then wouldn't he, the Federal Home Minister, lose control of the Central Bureau of Investigation?

Hermite was unwilling to see this result.

Vides is still quite tough. Such a CBI director is actually a kind of resistance against Nirmala. He naturally hopes that Vides can hold on.

Vides quickly sent out his trusted men and cooperated with the director of the Punjab branch to take action.

After all, he couldn't refuse this matter, so if that was the case, it would be a bad idea to give Nirmala an excuse to cause trouble for himself.

However, regarding this investigation, Vides hopes that he will not make too much of a fuss.

This time it is a confrontation between the BJP and the Congress Party. In this kind of attack between political parties, these state institutions should still maintain a certain degree of neutrality.

As for the Enforcement Bureau, Vides didn't care about that.

It goes without saying that the Enforcement Department is definitely the People's Party's thugs. How could they not know who they are targeting?
With the intervention of the Enforcement Directorate, the political situation in Punjab has become even more unfavorable to the Congress Party.

The Enforcement Directorate acted very quickly and launched an investigation against some of Amarinder's close associates.

This made Amarinder even more anxious.

He immediately asked for help from the Congress Party, hoping that they could exert some influence to make the BJP restrain itself, or at least make the Enforcement Agency stop its current actions.

But the Congress Party did not give Amarinder much response, but just let him figure it out on his own.

This made Amarinder very depressed.

He's been under too much pressure recently, and now he has to compete with those bastards in the law enforcement agency. How could he have the energy for this?

Even worse, he heard a piece of news that the top leaders of the Congress Party had left him out and were secretly discussing a new candidate for the Chief Minister of Punjab.

Before, it was just some rumors, but this time he got the news with more certainty.

After all, I am the current Chief Minister.

Does this mean you don't take yourself seriously at all?

Don’t you even communicate or discuss with me?
Once this secret discussion is passed, he will have no chance of resistance.

Who wants to lose the position of Chief Minister?
It is unknown how many people within the Congress Party want to compete for this position.

During this law enforcement process in Punjab, the Enforcement Directorate performed brilliantly, arresting many corrupt politicians in one fell swoop.

Of course, these politicians are undoubtedly members of the Congress Party.

The media on the BJP side immediately began to build momentum, because those arrested were from the Congress Party, making it easier to smear them.

The Central Bureau of Investigation basically did not do anything significant in this law enforcement process and was simply going through the motions.

This is what Viderste had specifically instructed.

He doesn't want to get involved in this kind of attack between the two major political parties.

If they really want to arrest them, don’t they think the politicians on the People’s Party have committed enough crimes?

The CBI was very considerate by not arresting anyone from the BJP, at least that's what Vidhan thought.

The Enforcement Agency only arrested the Congress Party and its allies, but not the BJP. It was clearly using its power to retaliate against its opponents. Vidhan did not want to do such a thing.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they become the People’s Party’s thugs and minions?
The BJP is very dissatisfied with the Central Bureau of Investigation's actions.

In their view, this negative behavior is against the People's Party and is the enemy of the People's Party.

"Director, something bad has happened." Vides' confidant, the office director, knocked on the door and came in anxiously.

"What's the matter again?" Vides frowned slightly, put down a document in his hand and looked at him.

He rarely hears any good news now. All the news he hears is bad news. He is now somewhat used to it.

"Director, I just received a message that someone from the law enforcement bureau said they want to investigate you." The director said with a worried look on his face.

Hearing this, Vides sneered and said, "What's the big deal? I haven't just said these words yet."

The Central Bureau of Investigation has a lot of opinions about the Enforcement Bureau, and correspondingly, the Enforcement Bureau also has no good feelings towards the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Previously, the Enforcement Directorate had arrested many people from the Central Bureau of Investigation, which caused quite a stir. Finally, the incident was settled after the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Central Bureau of Investigation gave in.

However, there are always people in the Enforcement Bureau clamoring to investigate the top brass of the Central Bureau of Investigation, especially Director Vides, who is the main culprit.

From time to time, there are reports from senior officials of the law enforcement agency that they want to investigate Vides and others.

So, this is not the first time that Vides has heard such words.

"No, Director, I'm afraid we really need to take this seriously," the director said. "I'm afraid even the Prime Minister is upset with you this time. We haven't done anything about the Punjab situation, and that's got them really upset. Plus, that woman in the Ministry of Finance is spreading rumors, so it doesn't look good for you, CBI."

"Don't be alarmist," Vides said with a smile. "Our Central Bureau of Investigation wants to maintain its independence, but that certainly won't satisfy the Prime Minister. This kind of thing isn't new."

The director agreed with this statement.

As a privileged agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation can often refuse to execute orders even from the government.

Especially after the BJP came to power, they have been wanting the CBI to cooperate with their actions.

Unfortunately, they often wanted to use the privileges of the CBI to attack their opponents, but such attempts were basically rejected by Vides.

This led to Laoxian supporting the Law Enforcement Bureau in various ways while suppressing the Central Bureau of Investigation.

"Director, this time may be different. They really have a lot of opinions about you. I'm afraid they will really cause trouble for you." The director said with some concern.

"If you want to cause trouble, then come on. Do you think I'm afraid of them?" Vides said with disdain. It wasn't just a matter of days before he'd been suppressed by the People's Party. He'd long experienced the People's Party's shamelessness and wasn't surprised by anything.

Hasn't the law enforcement agency caused enough trouble to us these days?
Isn’t this all instigated by the People’s Party?

"Director, but~~"

"Everyone should be careful and keep a low profile recently so as not to give those mad dogs in the law enforcement agency any handle on you," said Vides.

The Central Bureau of Investigation did not actively cooperate in this mission in Punjab. Vides had already expected that they would retaliate against him.

But even so, Vides still did it.

That's because he wanted to let the People's Party know that he would never bow to them.

"Yes, Chief!" The director didn't know what to say.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

The People's Party has been in power for so many years, and those guys have said countless harsh words to the director, both openly and secretly.

Although it caused considerable trouble to the Central Bureau of Investigation, they still failed to investigate the director.

Moss, the director of the Mabang Police Department, felt uneasy all over.

Becoming the director of this bureau is a great thing in every way. It is so glorious to be the head of the police department of Malaysia, a major economic state.

But after taking office, he found that it was far from what he had imagined.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to show off, but he doesn’t dare.

Because of Rodon, Rodon is the director of the Mabang branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

As long as Rodon is in Mabang, it's like a knife hanging over his head, which may fall at any time and make him lose his head.

So he really didn't dare to act too recklessly.

Some time ago, Nirmala asked him to do some things, which were done secretly.

On several occasions, Rotun intervened, but it kept him on edge for a long time.

He was afraid that Rotun would take advantage of the situation to cause trouble for him, but luckily Rotun did not follow up, which made him feel relieved.

He was very clear about Rotun's influence and knew that he had no chance of winning against Rotun.

Even though Nirmala kept saying that he supported him, when it came to a showdown with Rotten, Moss knew very well that he would be the one to be sacrificed.

So, Moss is now timid and hesitant in doing things, and can't let go at all.

He had also complained to Nirmala about these things.

This complaint is naturally in the hope of getting more support from Nirmala.

Of course, I hope Nirmala doesn’t blame herself.

After all, he didn't complete his tasks well several times.

However, he attributed these failures to the presence of Rotun, which prevented him from doing things perfectly.

Nirmala said that he would continue to support him and would find a way to resolve these issues in the future.

Nirmala's answer made Moss feel more at ease.

However, Moss still didn't quite believe that Nirmala would take any action against Rodon.

I'm afraid my days in Mabang will be very difficult from now on.

After all, if Rodon really goes crazy, even if Nirmala removes me as the director of the general bureau, I'm afraid I won't be able to save myself.

Roton's interference in Moss's several missions was not directed at Moss.

Although Roton was somewhat dissatisfied with Moss becoming the chief of the Mabon Police Department, he was not so petty. He believed that luck was the main reason for Moss becoming the chief. It was unexpected and could only be said to be God's will.

The few times that Roton took action were actually aimed at the People's Party.

Roton was still willing to make appropriate concessions.

But if you keep giving in, people will think you are easy to bully, and then these guys will become more aggressive.

Even on the People's Party side, Roton would not let them get too complacent.

This time, Moss became the Director General of the Maharashtra Police Department, which is definitely a good thing for the People's Party.

With Moss's cooperation, some people in the BJP wanted to intervene in Maharashtra, especially in some matters in Mumbai.

These people are not doing this for the country or anything, they are purely doing it for their own interests.

Faced with these things, Rotun naturally couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.

If these guys gain benefits, the interests of some of the original beneficiaries in Mumbai will be harmed.

Rawdon made his fortune in Mumbai. As his status continued to rise, his relationship with the powerful and wealthy people in Mumbai naturally became extraordinary.

That would mean damaging his own interests. How could Roton let this happen?

So, Rotun didn't want some guys from the People's Party to get involved.

This was Rotun's counterattack, to let those guys know that he still existed in Mabang.

Don't think you can be arrogant just because you have a Moss.

On September 9, the Chief Minister of Punjab was forced to resign under various pressures.

Two days later, Charanjit Channi was appointed Chief Minister of Punjab from the Congress Party. This move was extremely swift, which shows that the Congress Party was well prepared for this matter.

Charanjit became the first Dalit Chief Minister in the history of Punjab.

The appointment is clearly a strategic move by the Congress party to win the support of farmers and lower caste voters.

After all, it was this agricultural reform that caused Amarinder's support rate in Punjab to plummet. The Congress Party needs to bring its support rate back. After all, next year is the general election year and time waits for no one.

Being of low caste and being an untouchable is absolutely politically correct in Indian politics and is a plus. It is also very useful in gaining the support of low castes and the middle and lower classes.

With Charanjit's rise to power, the old immortal still felt nervous.

After all, Charanjit's untouchable status does make the BJP somewhat wary, and the advantages brought by this status are obvious.

In response to this matter, Laoxian immediately convened a meeting, and all the core senior executives attended the meeting.

This shows the importance that Laoxian attaches to the change of Chief Minister of Punjab.

Someone suggested at the meeting that the next BJP chief ministerial candidate in Punjab should also be from the Dalit caste, so as to offset the impact of Charanjit's identity.

Most people agreed with this proposal.

They had been causing all kinds of trouble for Amarinder before, but unexpectedly the Congress Party was decisive and directly forced Amarinder to step down and replaced him with Charanjit.

This was somewhat unexpected for the People's Party.

If the Congress Party wins back the hearts of the people and increases its support rate, that is not their original intention.

People also put forward various suggestions, such as increasing publicity efforts, belittling and smearing the Congress Party, praising themselves, etc.

Of course, there are also various benefits for voters, the need to raise more campaign funds, etc.

"I have an idea that I believe will give the Congress Party a headache, and maybe even completely overturn the Congress Party in Punjab." Nirmala spoke after seeing that everyone had expressed their ideas.

As soon as she spoke, everyone else immediately shut up and the meeting room fell silent.

"Tell me about it." The old immortal said with a smile.
