Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 577 Further Weakening of Power

“The People’s Party failed to secure a majority of seats this time, so they will definitely offer Rodon all sorts of benefits. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will definitely be in Rodon’s hands. Even if we oppose his promotion to CBI Director, what’s the use? He’s the acting director now, and he still controls the CBI. Before, Rodon wanted the director position because there were uncertainties within the People’s Party. Now that the People’s Party has lost a lot of seats, there’s no longer any targeting from them. The difference between director and acting director is just a matter of name; the real power won’t change at all. Rodon can completely control the CBI,” Sonia said.

Rahul opened his mouth, unable to refute.

indeed so.

Previously, the People's Party clearly wanted to take over the Central Bureau of Investigation and replace Rodon with their own people, so Rodon still cared about the position of director.

If he becomes the director, Rodton will at least have a nominal advantage.

To remove the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation from his post, at least a convincing excuse is needed.

This was especially true for the highly prestigious Rodon.

As for the acting director, the title "acting" implies that the position can be terminated at any time.

There is still a significant difference in difficulty between the two.

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Manmohan spoke up to ease Rahul's embarrassment, saying, "This meeting with Rodon gave me some inspiration, and I have an idea now. We don't need to worry too much about the CBI anymore; Rodon can still be trusted. We can shift our focus to the Enforcement Bureau. We can't keep indulging them like this. That guy, Powell, is no longer suitable to be the head of the Enforcement Bureau."

“Yes, that bastard deserves to die.” Rahul perked up immediately upon hearing about the law enforcement bureau.

To be honest, he was somewhat jealous of Rodon.

Younger than himself, yet with such astonishing achievements, they have all overshadowed his brilliance.

And Rodton's women, just thinking about them makes me envious.

It's not that Rodon has a lot of women; Rahul also has quite a few women in private, perhaps even more, and they are all very beautiful.

But they're both lovers, so why is there such a big difference?
Rodon's women were all strong, capable women who brought Rodon many benefits.

Take the People's Party, for example.

With the People's Party seat in hand, Rodton was completely untouchable by anyone in the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Given Rodon's popularity among the people, who could possibly touch him?

Whoever is in power next will have to show respect to Rodton and will need his support.

Otherwise, if Rodton doesn't cooperate, even if he becomes the ruling party, he will be in big trouble.

Everyone has seen what the law enforcement bureau has done over the years.

If Rodton really wanted to do that, the impact would far exceed that of the law enforcement agency.

And one needs to spend all sorts of money on one's lover.

If it were just a matter of spending money, that would be one thing, but often these women would also get themselves into a lot of trouble.

These are the things that Rahul envies about Rodon.

However, in reality, he and Rodon did not have much of a conflict of interest.

On the contrary, Powell was genuinely cracking down on and suppressing these opposition figures.

The enmity between them runs deep.

After all, many of their allies had been betrayed by Boved, and this was an irreconcilable enmity.

Rahul wished he could tear Povey to pieces.

“The law enforcement can’t let them continue like this,” Sonia said. “However, it will be troublesome if the People’s Party wants to protect Porvede. They won’t give up on Porvede easily.”

She also deeply resented the actions of the law enforcement agency.

Bowen is now just a dog over there, having done too many things for the People's Party over the years.

The People's Party generally won't easily give up on people like this.

Because if you give up on someone like that, it will be difficult to find someone else who can do the dirty and hard work for them.

Especially in recent years, they have wished they could kill Bowen.

But for the People's Party, Poveyd was a very useful dog, and such a dog that can bite is generally hard to give up.

“If we unite and launch a campaign to remove Povey, I believe the People’s Party will no longer be able to protect him,” Manmohan said. “They don’t have a majority of seats now; things are different now. Besides, I think the Central Bureau of Investigation probably doesn’t want Povey to continue in his position as head of the law enforcement agency either.”

"You mean Rodon will also intervene?" Sonia asked.

“He didn’t say it explicitly, but I could still tell from his words,” Manmohan said with a smile.

Rahul, standing to the side, was completely bewildered.

Did Rodon mention Powell at the time?
It seemed like there was some kind of hint, but I didn't hear it.

How come he didn't notice at all?

It seems I still have a lot to learn.

“Everyone has seen what Porved has done over the years. If the CBI wants to investigate him, they certainly have no shortage of evidence,” Manmohan continued. “However, it’s not appropriate to have the CBI intervene directly, since both are privileged institutions, and Rodton wouldn’t target the other without a reason. If we can stir up public opinion, the CBI can then naturally get involved, and Porved should be able to be taken down.”

“That’s something to consider,” Sonia chuckled. “The law enforcement bureau can no longer be completely controlled by the People’s Party.”

It is indeed impossible for Rodton to express his opinion directly.

However, since Manmohan said so, Sonia still believed his judgment.

Once we've created a good atmosphere, Rodton will definitely give us another push.

In previous years, Powell also launched a significant crackdown on the CBI.

Although the law enforcement agency has quieted down since Rodon took office, Rodon is still mostly uneasy as long as Powell is around.

People like Bowend, who are dogs of the People's Party, must be eliminated.

They would accept replacing him with a new director, as long as he wasn't as extreme as Bowen.

It's understandable that these privileged institutions can lean slightly towards the ruling party.

But they can't go too far, can they? The Congress Party and other opposition parties have deep resentment towards the law enforcement agency.

“I think so too,” Manmohan said. “With the People’s Party losing so many seats this time, if they take down the Enforcement Bureau as well, their power will be further weakened, which would be a good thing for everyone.”

“We can start preparing for this now,” Sonia said.

Sonia naturally wouldn't let Manmohan do this task.

Manmohan is getting old and doesn't have much energy left.

It was already quite an achievement to ask him to come out and find Rodon this time.

The news of Rahul's visit to Rodon quickly reached the ears of the old immortals.

This is not surprising at all.

These are all people that everyone is closely monitoring, and it is generally difficult for each other to hide their actions from the other.

Of course, this time, the Congress Party didn't intend to hide anything when they went to Rodon.

Everyone knows this is a fact.

The sudden emergence of the People's Party as a dark horse will inevitably attract the attention of both the People's Party and the Congress Party. Is there anything strange about that?

After receiving the news, some of the people below became anxious.

Thinking about whether he should go there immediately, he couldn't let the Congress Party get the first move.

They are starting to get anxious and scared.

If the People's Party were to be wooed by the Congress Party, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

If things go wrong, they could very well lose their chance to govern this time.

Such a momentous event, who wouldn't be nervous and afraid?

They've done far too many bad things over the years.

If they can continue to govern, none of this matters.

But if they lose power, they will definitely be purged by the Congress Party.

Just like when we purged some people from the Congress Party back then.

They could not accept this outcome.

He was the old master after all; unlike his men, he wasn't in a rush and didn't take any action that very night.

Instead, he waited until the next morning and discreetly led a group of people to find Rodon.

Old Immortal didn't believe that Rodton would side with the Congress Party.

Even if you're going to take sides, you should first hear the conditions on your side.

Since he hadn't gone there himself, Rodton wouldn't give the Congress Party a definite answer.

The old immortal is quite confident about this.

You can't rush things at this time; if you do, you'll easily mess things up.

Old Immortal personally led a team to visit him, which surprised Rodton as well.

However, this also shows that both sides were somewhat bewildered by this election.

Who would have thought the People's Party would have so many seats?

Suddenly, it became an undeniable force, capable of influencing and resolving the situation.

The fact that the old immortal came in person shows how much importance he attaches to this matter.

Besides Ermit and Rajnath, there was another person who came with the old immortal: Adani.

Adani's assets have increased many times over the years because of his relationship with Lao Xian.

Many of India's domestic resources were sold or given to him at half price.

It can be said that whatever Adani wants, Lao Xian will tailor some policies for him.

Rodon and Adani have a good relationship in private.

This is mainly because Rodon did not pursue a political career and did not have much conflict with the People's Party.

Adani was often willing to deal with Rodon.

Because Rodton has a lot of influence with the police and the CBI.

Even if Adani took the high-level route and got things under control with the People's Party, he still had to deal with the lower-level administrative offices.

The police system is an unavoidable factor.

Often, these lower-ups can cause you a lot of trouble with their little tricks; they're really hard to deal with.

Having connections with Rodton would make his business much smoother.

Furthermore, Adani is well aware that no political party can remain strong forever.

Back in the day, hasn't the Congress Party declined to this day?

The People's Party was not immune to this fate either, so it also had to make connections with people from all walks of life to plan for the future.

Rodton is in the national civil service system, a system where people have great power and stability.

Politicians serve one or two terms and then leave, while people like Rodton can work until retirement.

Especially someone like Rodon, who wields great power at such a young age, coupled with his own influence and the power of his women, naturally needs to be well maintained.
