Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 526: Undermining the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation

Nirmala acted quickly and decisively.

Amarinder, who was suffering from various setbacks and was in a low situation, received Nirmala's kindness.

After an in-depth discussion between the two, Amarinder quickly agreed.

For Amarinder, he now has no psychological burden to form a political party independently from the Congress.

He is a senior member of the Congress Party and used to prioritize the interests of the Congress Party.

But this time the Congress Party kicked him away, which made him very disappointed.

So at this time, he came out to work alone, and even the Congress Party could not blame him.

It was the people from the Congress Party who were too ruthless and Amarinder was not afraid of their criticism.

In fact, Amarinder also understood in his heart that the Congress Party probably felt that he was too old and took this opportunity to kick him out.

It's not that Amarinder was greedy. He just wanted to serve as the chief minister for the entire term and then retire.

I didn't expect that with less than a year left, they wouldn't give me any time.

Of course, he doesn't think he is greedy, but to outsiders, he is actually very greedy.

Amarinder is indeed quite old, he is already 79 years old this year.

At this age, people usually retire long ago.

But he still occupies the position of Chief Minister, which makes many young politicians within the Congress Party who want to get promoted very dissatisfied.

In short, it is power that is at work, and everyone looks at the problem from their own perspective.

In any case, Amarinder is now determined to turn against the Congress Party.

Since Nirmala acted quickly, the old man Amarinder was also very decisive.

In October, less than a month after Amarinder resigned as the Chief Minister of Punjab, he announced his separation from the Congress Party and established the Punjab People's Party, with his sights set on next year's Punjab assembly election.

The name of this political party is quite interesting.

Although Nirmala did not directly ask Amarinder to join the BJP, the intention to win him over was clear.

Amarinder used the name of the party to show his loyalty.

He knew very well that if he wanted to continue to hold power he could only cooperate with the People's Party.

This time he quit the Congress Party and established the Punjab People's Party on his own, which completely broke with the Congress Party. He has no other way out.

Although he is not young anymore, his desire for power has never faded.

After all, he was the Chief Minister of a state and held enormous power.

How can you give up so easily after enjoying the benefits brought by such great power?
Now the BJP has promised him that if he is willing to cooperate with the BJP, once the two sides can really jointly govern Punjab, then the Chief Minister will still be him, Amarinder.

With this promise, Amarinder naturally tried his best.

He quickly persuaded some of his close friends within the Congress Party and brought many of the Congress Party's veteran leaders into the Punjab People's Party.

As a result, the Congress Party lost a lot of power.

For the Congress, losing these forces now would be fatal, especially in Punjab.

Because Amarinder still has considerable influence in Punjab, they originally wanted to take over Amarinder's political legacy after his resignation.

But now, Amadlin has rebelled, and even if Charanjit comes to power, he will basically not get much.

It can be said that Charanjit’s support rate is lower now than when Amarinder was in power.

This made many people in the Congress Party regret it.

If they had known that Amarinder was so shameless that he would actually defect to the BJP, they would definitely not have replaced him at this time.

However, many people within the Congress Party also believe that it would have been better if this matter had broken out earlier. If it broke out now, at least there would be time for them to react.

If Amarinder defected at the critical moment of the election, then the Congress Party would have no chance at all.

After Charanjit came to power, the initial situation is a bit difficult, but they believe that with Charanjit's Dalit identity, they can still win the support of more low-caste people.

By then, the support rate can still go up.

The top leaders of the Congress Party could only think so now, so they gave Charanjit greater support.

Rodon followed the struggles in Punjab.

Luo Dun has memories of these events.

Such examples of people leaving a political party and going it alone are common in India.

Breaking up and getting back together is very normal.

This is good too. Let the Congress and the BJP fight each other so that the Delhi Aidilfitri Party can develop better.

Rodon is now secretly cooperating with Arvind, so naturally he hopes that they can take over Punjab.

Punjab has changed its chief minister, but Charanjit is clearly still unable to control the situation.

The farmers' movement towards New Delhi continues.

They blocked the main entrances to the capital New Delhi, causing huge trouble to New Delhi.

In recent months, there have been numerous physical conflicts between farmers and police maintaining order, resulting in casualties.

Most of the situation is still at a stalemate, but farmers in some places are still moving closer to New Delhi.

This attitude is a headache for the People's Party.

The demands of these farmers are actually very simple, which is to repeal the agricultural reform bill and restore the original policy.

Regarding this point, Laoxian was extremely tough before.

He is prepared to implement this reform forcefully.

The old immortal is a hero, and he still wants to achieve something.

How could he not know what the situation in India is?
This agricultural reform is aimed at cracking down on the large landlords who control the land and food. He wants to suppress them, and it would be best to defeat them and make them submit to him.

This will give you greater control.

After all, food is very important to a country.

Unfortunately, the old immortal still underestimated the power of these big landlords and the related interest groups behind them.

This has been going on for more than a year, and the momentum is growing.

As the incident continued to ferment over time, it had reached the point where it had to be resolved.

Because this movement has become one of the largest and longest-lasting peasant movements in Indian history.

On November 2021, 11, Lao Xian sat in his prime minister's office with a calm expression.

But if someone could see his eyes, they would be filled with anger and unwillingness...

In short, Laoxian’s emotions are very complicated now.

I don’t know how long it took, but the old immortal let out a long sigh.

Then he picked up the pen on the table and signed his name on a document in front of him.

After signing, Lao Xian asked the office director to come in. "Announce it to the public." Lao Xian sighed.

The director knew that Laoxian was in a bad mood.

This is an announcement to withdraw the agricultural reform policy released in September last year.

Of course the director knew about this.

In recent months, Laoxian has been tortured by this matter.

As the old immortal's confidant, the director certainly understood.

Things have finally come to this point.

From the very beginning, the director knew that this would be a difficult task.

But thinking about the old immortal's tough tactics, he still felt that there was hope of dealing with those big landlords.

But as time went on, his confidence disappeared.

Until later on, I almost lost all confidence.

It’s better to announce the withdrawal now, at least we don’t have to worry about such troubles anymore.

However, this is definitely not a good thing for the old immortal.

The old immortal is an extremely tough character to the outside world. Once he makes a decision, he will definitely carry it out to the end.

For example, the Clean India Movement.

No matter what the toilets down there look like, whether there are not enough of them or the quality is substandard, just tell me, are they working?

At least there are results, right?
This time, the announcement of withdrawing the policy is a compromise with the farmers.

Of course, everyone knows that it was the old immortal who compromised with the big landlords behind the farmers.

After the news was released, it immediately spread throughout India and caused a huge response.

After all, a few days ago, Laoxian emphasized that he would not give in and that he would use other methods to resolve this peasant movement.

But a few days later, something like this happened, which was so unexpected.

After Nirmala learned the news, he immediately went to the Prime Minister's office to find Laoxian.

"How can you revoke the policy? This will be a huge blow to your prestige." Nirmala completely disagreed.

"It's been going on for too long. We have to resolve it," the old immortal said with a faint smile. "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous. It's a good thing it's been rescinded. I think it will be beneficial for the upcoming Punjab election. Those guys were very hostile to our BJP before, and our support rate was low. Now that the policy has been rescinded, I believe it will be easier to win more support."

Nirmala’s face darkened.

That's true, but even if there is such a benefit, it is limited.

The people and landlords in Punjab do not trust their side that much. Even if the policy is revoked this time, it will still be difficult to get them to support their side immediately.

Of course, it is definitely better than before.

"I was thinking of asking the Enforcement Directorate to intervene," Nirmala sighed.

"It's not that simple. Those large landowners and the forces associated with them are so complex that they can't be dealt with overnight. Even if a few are apprehended, it won't have much of an impact on the situation." The old immortal said, "Since the cancellation notice has been issued, you don't need to worry about it anymore."

The old immortal knew that Nirmala was also thinking about his own interests.

How could he not know that once the news of his revocation was released, his prestige would definitely suffer a huge blow.

But for this matter, the old immortal still chose to do so.

So many farmers have blocked the main intersections in New Delhi. If this continues, the capital will be paralyzed.

Now, internationally, this incident has made the Indian government a laughing stock, and the opposition parties such as the Congress Party have made too much of this incident.

If this continues, it will definitely not be worth it.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"Okay, but someone has to be responsible for this matter." Nirmala said with a murderous look on his face.

The old immortal was stunned for a moment. Responsible?

Isn't it myself who bears the greatest responsibility in this matter?

But Nirmala certainly wasn't referring to himself.

"Ermati's Home Department has done a terrible job in this incident. Look at the police, what's the use?" Nirmala continued.

When the old immortal heard this, he laughed in his heart.

Nirmala is trying to put Ermit in a bad light.

Although the old immortal is now more inclined towards Nirmala, he will not punish Ermit for such a small matter.

There is actually no big problem with the police's handling of the situation. Sometimes, there is indeed a shortage of police force, and the number of farmers is too large, so when they suddenly attack certain checkpoints, they really cannot be stopped.

"I know about some of the conflicts between you and him, but the main problem in this matter lies with me and has nothing to do with him." The old immortal said with a smile.

"No, how could there be a problem with you?" Nirmala said immediately, "Even if Ermit's involvement is not significant, the CBI cannot help but investigate."

"Vides?" The old immortal frowned.

"Yes, it's him," Nirmala said. "On several occasions, it was the Central Bureau of Investigation who was behind the attack, allowing these guys to successfully break through the checkpoints. He did it on purpose. He must be severely punished and investigated."

The old immortal didn't say anything for a while.

Just now Nirmala mentioned letting Ermit take charge, and he definitely couldn't agree to that.

But if it's Vides, it's different.

Vids is not from the BJP, and the Central Bureau of Investigation is not on the same page with me now, so I have a lot of opinions about Vids.

He knew that Vides had been lax in this peasant movement, but the Central Bureau of Investigation was, after all, a privileged agency.

Earlier he had acquiesced to the rivalry between the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation, but now he has almost suppressed the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Even when the Enforcement Directorate arrested and investigated some people from the Central Bureau of Investigation before, he didn't say much.

But this time Nirmala proposed to investigate Vidhu, so we have to be cautious.

After all, Vides is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. If he is not careful, it will bring too much trouble to him.

"Do you really want to do this?" The old immortal asked after a long while.

"I know your concerns, but the investigation into Vides does not mean that we have to announce a direct investigation of him now. I think we can start preparing now, and we can start with some important positions in the Central Bureau of Investigation. We just need to remove some of his main confidants from key positions and replace them with our people. I believe that as long as the Enforcement Bureau continues to put pressure on them, Vides may still be sidelined by us, and it will be much easier to deal with Vides at that time." Nirmala said with a smile.

After hearing this, the old immortal secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Nirmala is indeed very reliable in his work.

If we really investigate Vides at this time, we will probably be met with a fierce counterattack from Vides, and the consequence that will be caused is exactly what the old immortal wants to see.

After all, Vides, the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, knows too many secrets. Once many of these secrets are made public, the blow they cause to their People's Party will be absolutely huge, even fatal.

"Yes, you can secretly investigate and collect evidence first. Your methods should be gentle, and it's best not to let him know. He's the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, after all, so you need to be cautious," the old immortal said. "As for the confidant of Vides you mentioned, who are you going to target first?"

"Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation's Delhi branch." Nirmala said with murderous intent in his eyes.
