Chapter 387 Control of Uttar Pradesh
It was no secret that Ron was back, and at this time of great change, everyone in Uttar Pradesh was watching his every move.
Satya acted very quickly and drove from his office in Lucknow almost as soon as he got the news.
He knew very well that he had to meet Mr. Sur before anyone else.
He knew that his identity was rather embarrassing: leader of the opposition and loser in the last general election.
The BJP has a close relationship with Mr. Sur, and the Bahasa Samajwadi Party also maintains an open alliance.
Not to mention the Progressive Party, which is Mr. Soule's political spokesperson.
Only the Socialist Party is in a disadvantaged position, with neither a majority in parliament nor reliable allies.
Seeing that big moves are about to happen in Uttar Pradesh, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, it will be difficult for him to turn things around in the future.
"Mr. Sur, may the sun god bless you!" Satia bent down and performed the foot-touching salute without saying a word.
"Bless you." Ron patted his shoulder with a strange look on his face.
What happened to Satya? Did he convert to the Sun God?
His brother used to talk about Lord Krishna all the time and claimed with certainty that Yadav was a descendant of the god.
Now, his younger brother is changing his job!
"Uttar Pradesh has changed a lot now. Millions of unemployed young people no longer have to travel thousands of miles to New Delhi to find work. Some of them come to Lucknow, and some go to the east. Yes, the east, that place is like a miracle! Oh, I don't know how to describe it."
Satya's exaggerated posture seemed as if he had truly heard the true meaning of the gods.
Ron was even a little curious about how he could be so flattering and yet make people feel that it was natural.
"That's all because of you!" He opened his arms. "Uttar Pradesh can't do without Mr. Sur. Otherwise, what will happen to over 100 million people?"
"Well, I'm not the Chief Minister, so how can I interfere? Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I just came to see you and listen to your teachings." He was very humble.
The Socialist Party is now almost falling into the dust. With a parliamentary share of just over 10%, it has very little say.
He regarded Ron as his lifeline. As long as he could persuade both sides to form an alliance, the Socialist Party would have great potential.
How could he not have ideas as the Chief Minister?
Satya was confident that he could do better than the Dalit woman and he saw this as an opportunity to turn the tables.
After being a coward for more than a year, he was eager to stand up.
"Are you talking about Mayawati?" Ron asked directly.
“Well, yes. She is not a qualified chief minister. Everything she has done for over a year has made Uttar Pradesh worse.”
"So?" Ron was not in a hurry. He had time to listen to what the other party had to say.
"Mr. Sur, look, this is the development plan I made for Uttar Pradesh." Satya quickly handed over a document.
He had been prepared for this day.
The whole plan seems ambitious, and it seems to be making Uttar Pradesh the industrial center of North India.
Even Satya pays special attention to the development of rural areas, and many welfare measures seem to be very realistic.
Perhaps his last trip to Bihar caused some misunderstandings on his part.
A considerable amount of space in the plan is devoted to explaining how to protect the interests of farmers and how to implement poverty alleviation policies.
Tsk, that's so incongruous.
When has the Indian government ever cared about the lives of farmers? This plan should be discussed at the University of Tokyo.
But Satya forgot one thing after all. Ron didn't mind giving some benefits to the lower class, but the prerequisite was that he had to make money.
He is a capitalist, not a philanthropist.
Of course, Satya also hinted that the Suer family would have privileges, but they were not enough.
"I just returned to Lucknow, and there are many things I haven't figured out yet. I need time to think about it." Ron lightly dropped the subject.
"Mr. Sur, we have been working very well together in the past few years, haven't we? The cement plant and Sur Electric were both established during the Socialist Party's rule. With your current strength, you can definitely exert greater influence in Uttar Pradesh."
"I'll consider it, Satya. I guarantee that the Socialist Party will get a lot of benefits." Ron covered for him.
"Of course, there is no doubt about what you said." Satya calmed down a little.
"Go back first. I'll call you in a few days at most."
"Yes, just tell me if you need anything, I'll come over anytime."
Satya didn't argue and calmly walked out.
He probably had some suspicions, but he didn't express his dissatisfaction. As a politician, he was more patient than his brother.
"This young Yadav is very capable. The Socialist Party has already reached a consensus." Aditya said, looking at his back.
"He is a qualified politician, but he is still a little immature when it comes to state governance."
"What are your plans?" Aditya asked.
"To appease and win over, but not the main force." Ron chuckled.
The only parties that can truly determine the future political direction of Uttar Pradesh are the BJP and the Progressive Party representing the Surya Nasional.
The number of seats they hold in parliament determines everything.
The Socialist Party is still too weak and can no longer influence the overall situation.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Ron intends to give up the Socialist Party. He will not be stingy with the support he deserves.
It is true that they are allies with the BJP now, but who can predict what will happen in the future.
The chaotic political situation in Uttar Pradesh in the past few decades is the best portrayal of this.
The secular impact brought about by caste, religion and social development is chaotic and uncertain.
Don't put all your hopes on the BJP. The safest approach is to plan ahead and make arrangements in advance.
Chief ministers may change, political parties may come and go, but the Sur family will remain standing.
As soon as Satya left, Singh's car stopped at the door of Ron's villa.
His movements were also very quick, with almost no delay.
He wanted to see Ron before Mayawati, the Dalit woman who might be heading here now.
Sensitive politicians already know what the BJP is going to do.
This is certainly inseparable from the support of the Sur family, which has become an important force in Uttar Pradesh.
As Aditya said, whoever wins over the Sur family will win the opportunity to govern Uttar Pradesh.
Singer and Ron have always had a good relationship, but he is also worried that things will change if he delays.
After entering the door, Singh was also very humble and polite.
He also praised Ron's great contribution to the development of Uttar Pradesh, saying that the "crazy east" has now become the "bright east".
All kinds of criminal activities are almost extinct, but people's lives are getting better.
In the past, people there had to do risky jobs in order to survive.
Now you don’t need it, you can still have an income without committing a crime.
Mirzapur and Sonbhadra areas are actively recruiting people, providing countless jobs.
It doesn’t matter if you are not selected. The markets in those two places are very prosperous now and you can always find some work to do.
After the greetings, both parties sat down and Ron spoke first.
"I heard that Uttar Pradesh has been quite unstable recently?"
"That woman is crazy!" Singer put away his expression and said angrily.
"My second uncle probably told me that Mayawati is deliberately making things difficult for the upper castes."
"She used the position of chief minister as a tool for personal venting, completely disregarding the political situation in Uttar Pradesh."
“How many people in Parliament are against her right now?”
"It's definitely more than you think. Even within the BJP, there are criticisms of Mayawati."
"Hmm?" Ron asked curiously.
"She even accepts bribes from her own people. Last month, when she was at a meeting abroad, she ordered her subordinates to take a helicopter back to retrieve a pair of shoes. Her style is more Brahmin-like than that of a Brahmin."
"She also has a helicopter?" Ron looked strange.
"Rented." Singh chuckled. "Yadav's lesson hasn't made her any less restrained. For Mayawati, the bigger the better."
"Well, I heard from Second Uncle that you plan to kick her out of office?"
"Yes, Mayawati is not a qualified chief minister. How can we manage Uttar Pradesh by associating with such a termite? We have contacted many people, and everyone agrees to do this. With your support, Mr. Sur, we can accomplish great things."
"What are the plans after that?" Ron asked.
Singh leaned forward, knowing now was the time to make his offer.
"The BJP needs the position of Chief Minister. In exchange, you can appoint the Minister of Industry and Commerce as you wish. All Sur family businesses in the state will enjoy preferential tax rates. The power plants currently under construction and those planned in the future will all be purchased by the Electricity Board with a guaranteed minimum supply."
As for those hotels you run, the state government can designate them as administrative reception centers, and they will never be short of guests. The other real estate, public works, and mining will all remain in the hands of the Suhr family as before."
“I am planning to set up a private university in Lucknow, with qualifications and academic qualifications.”
"No problem, the state government will take care of it, and the academic qualifications will be officially certified."
"Happy cooperation!" Ron extended his hand.
"Long live the Alliance!" Singh also smiled.
"When are you going to start?"
"Now that you're back, of course you can do it anytime."
"Okay, the Progressive Party will cooperate with you." Ron nodded.
"I'm going back to the meeting now." Singer got up and left in a hurry.
In a few words, the future of Uttar Pradesh has been demarcated.
Singer's offer was quite sincere. In terms of business, he offered almost everything he could.
To be honest, Ron’s business empire, and everything that covers Uttar Pradesh.
Factories, energy, infrastructure, real estate, and service industries, almost all profitable businesses are involved.
This is the foundation of Uttar Pradesh. Ron is not interested in other things such as agriculture.
The added value is too low and not worth his effort.
This is also out of consideration for avoiding suspicion. The Suer family can't take up everything, so they have to leave some soup for others.
The only thing left for Ron to worry about is education, especially higher education that is responsible for cultivating talents.
He will slowly infiltrate the field of education by building private universities. The Suer family needs a reserve of loyal officials and professional talents.
Family members will be included in the board of directors and can intervene in curriculum setting when necessary.
For example, associating the Sur family with heroes and gods in Hindu mythology further deepens the divinity of "Sur".
As for the Supreme Court, I'll leave it to my father-in-law to handle.
Well, politics, the judiciary, education, and business are all under the control of the Suhr family.
In just ten years, Ron will have complete control over Uttar Pradesh.
A chief minister who controls the situation in depth, not superficially.
Ron was reviewing the plan in his mind when his second uncle Adiya received a call.
“That Dalit woman asked you to meet her.”
"What?" Ron was stunned.
"She said if you agree, she will allow you to ride in her helicopter." Aditya looked strange.
"Doesn't this idiot understand his own situation?" Ron couldn't help laughing.
