Chapter 151: Embezzlement of Billions (asking for monthly votes)
The article accused Rajiti of various illegal acts during his tenure, including embezzlement of state-owned assets, collusion with illegal businessmen, forced purchases and sales to enrich himself, etc.
The testimonies of witnesses interviewed in the interview vividly describe Ragetti's various crimes, which is enough to arouse public indignation.
It can be seen that this must have come from Rajiti's enemy, and the words are sharp.
Lagiti is no longer the Minister of Finance, and Roton has known this for a long time.
I also know this guy's original life trajectory. After he stepped down as Minister of Finance, he persisted for a few years before he was defeated by his opponents and thrown into prison.
The reason why he was able to hold on for a few more years was that he had support behind him, mainly the newly appointed Chief Minister.
Roton knew this guy, because according to the normal historical trajectory, at the end of next year, the new chief minister would be forced to resign due to big news such as abusing his power for personal gain.
With the resignation of the Chief Minister, Rajiti lost his strong backing and was defeated.
Otherwise with the Chief Minister behind him, Rajti will definitely be fine for the time being.
Thinking of how Lagiti had tried to kill him many times, Luoton felt that he could not wait that long.
Got to get this guy in as soon as possible.
As long as this guy is brought in, his mortal enemies will definitely take advantage of the situation, so Ragetti will be doomed.
If one wants to take action against Rajiti, then one must start with the new Chief Minister Ashok.
Roton knew about this guy's crimes. After all, they were reported on the news and TV in his previous life. After all, he was the Chief Minister of Malawian. He was destined to be a news figure in Malawian, and any disturbance would attract the attention of many media.
At that time, Rawdon was in Mumbai and naturally saw a lot of news disclosures, which were very detailed.
But I definitely can't ask Fia for help with this matter.
Roton now has a good idea of Fia's preferences.
In fact, it cannot be said that we have figured out their preferences, but rather we know some of the news selection preferences of All India Television.
It is best if these news reports some scandals and scandals in local states.
It would be best if there were some scandals involving the ruling parties in these places.
This is very helpful for the federal center to suppress local power.
It's just that Ashok is from the Congress Party, and the current Prime Minister is also from the Congress Party. Even if Fia dares to report such news, the leaders of the All India Television will most likely have some concerns and it is possible that they will suppress the report.
If we can't find Fia, there are of course other ways. We can find some news media controlled by the opposition parties of the Congress Party to disclose some of Ashok's dirty laundry.
For example, the People's Party or something like that, they would certainly be very happy to use these to attack rival politicians.
Especially the Chief Minister of a state. If he is removed, then even if someone other than the BJP comes to power, it will greatly undermine the prestige of the Congress Party.
Roton thought about it for a while and felt that he had to test Fia's reaction on this matter.
Either way it was big news, and Roden knew that Fia liked this kind of news.
If she could really withstand the pressure and report the news, Luoton would naturally be willing to tell her some of Ashok's illegal activities.
"Director, I have a news clue here. I wonder if you can report it?" Roton called Fia.
"As long as it's news, and big news, then there's no problem." Feiya said immediately, "Is there something big happening at the coal mine?"
Fia is now very concerned about Roton.
After all, the several news stories she was responsible for during this period were very influential across the country, and all of these news stories were related to Rawdon.
It is obvious that a lot of big news can be dug out from Roton, which is very attractive to her.
So when Rawdon said this, she immediately perked up.
"No, no, no, the coal mine is quiet for the time being. I think even if there are some minor problems later, there is probably no need for the All-India Television to report it." Roton said with a smile.
"What is that?" Fia asked curiously.
"Some dirty stuff about a big shot, the Chief Minister," said Rawdon.
"Chief Minister?" Feiya's beautiful eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. "Sure, tell me about it."
This is really big news. She likes to challenge such difficult news.
It is difficult, but once it is reported, the impact will be huge.
"Don't worry, the situation is complicated." Luo Dun said, "He is a member of the Congress Party. It's not that I don't trust you, Director, but I'm worried that the All India Television will not be able to pass this report due to pressure from above."
"Congress?" Fia pondered for a moment.
It has to be said that Roton's concern is justified.
Although the All India Television has always been promoting freedom of the press and the like, it generally compromises when facing the federal government.
After all, the TV station is affiliated with the government's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and is under their leadership.
What about freedom of speech? It's all fake. How can the government not control it at all? Even if it is some private consortiums or the media controlled by major political parties, the news they report will generally protect their own interests. If there is any bad news, it will definitely be directed at opponents, such as business rivals, political competitors, etc.
So the current ruling party in India is the Congress Party, and they naturally have the greatest influence on all-India television stations.
For example, if the prime minister gives orders to the minister in charge of news, and the minister gives orders to the TV station, how will the director of the TV station be selected? "Besides, this government has just taken office. If you report it, wouldn't it be suspected of slapping them in the face? Will you get into trouble?" Roton added, "I think it would be better if the news media of the opposition Congress Party reported this news?"
The general election just ended. Manmohan Singh of the Congress Party was successfully re-elected as Prime Minister.
It is very risky to have news that attacks the Congress Party at this time.
Even though Roton knew that Fia had considerable background connections, it was not a good idea to let her take risks.
"No, I'll report this news." Fia suddenly said firmly.
"Director?" Luo Dun was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so persistent.
"There are risks, but I think there are greater opportunities here," Feiya said. "I don't want to be a puppet at the mercy of others. What news can be reported and what news cannot be reported? Those guys can't control us. I will never bow to them. As long as the authenticity of the news is confirmed, I will report it, no matter who it is. As for whether the All India Television will suppress the news, don't worry about it. I will handle it. The Chief Minister you are talking about is Ashok Chavan, right?"
Roden was not surprised that Fia guessed Ashok.
My own prerequisites are already very obvious.
Because among the chief ministers of Mumbai or several states near Maharashtra, only Ashok meets the requirement, and he is from the Congress Party.
Moreover, what Rawdon told her was basically news in Mabon.
"Director, do you want to reconsider this? Once this matter is reported, it will not only involve the Congress Party, but also countless people, including some politicians allied with the Congress Party, senior officials in the government, and so on." said Roton.
He didn't want Fia to get into trouble, and this time was different from before.
It really involves the top leaders of the federal central government.
"Don't think about it." Feiya smiled, "I've decided. As a journalist, I can't be afraid just because the person I'm reporting on has some background, right? Besides, I'm just reporting the facts, not distorting the facts or making up rumors. Even if they're angry, what can they do? Can they kill me? In fact, the bigger the incident gets, the safer I'll be."
Rawdon smiled.
It is definitely not necessary to kill Fia, after all, Fia also has an impressive background.
Moreover, if such things are reported, opposition parties like the People's Party will definitely speak out.
If the Congress Party really wants to do something murderous, wouldn't that just hand the handle to the BJP? The BJP is already very powerful and is the most powerful challenger to the Congress Party.
Therefore, the existence of these opposition parties is actually Fia's amulet.
The People's Party and other opposition parties will definitely pay close attention to Fia, the whistleblower.
Fia's safety is definitely not a problem.
However, too many people are affected this time, and they are all influential, so Fia is likely to lose her job.
But Fia had already made up her mind, and it was difficult for Roton to persuade her.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to tell Fiya about Ashok's affairs this time. If Fiya was really targeted by the other party and lost her job at All India Television, then his relationship with All India Television would be severed.
However, it has been said and there is nothing to regret.
At least if Fia really reports Ashok's dirt, it will speed up the process of Rajiti's downfall.
If he doesn't get rid of this guy, who knows if he will find someone to kill him again? "Tell me, what's the black material about Ashok Chafan? I need that kind of major bad incident, otherwise it won't have much impact on them." Feiya continued.
"The story is this: in relation to the 'Adarsh Housing Project', Ashok Chafan and his relatives illegally occupied more than a dozen apartments and illegally sold other apartments to people who did not meet the requirements. The amount involved was very huge..."
The 'Adarsh Housing Project' is a project funded by the Indian federal government to build housing in a prime location on the Mumbai seaside, which is planned to be distributed to the widows of soldiers who died in the 1999 India-Pakistan conflict.
The construction project was undertaken by the Maharashtra government, and Ashok was the project leader at the time.
Since these houses are located in good locations, the market value of each apartment is as high as tens of millions of rupees or even nearly 100 million.
How could such a big piece of fat not be targeted? Soon after the project was completed, Ashok became the boss of the Maharashtra government and the chief minister, and he began to embezzle these assets.
Ashok used his power to seize dozens of apartments in the name of relatives, such as his parents-in-law and aunts and uncles, and sold the remaining apartments at a discount or half price to some politicians, government and military officials who were close to him.
In the original project, one of the buildings was approved to be built with 6 floors, but driven by greed for profit and under the protection of Ashok, the building was continuously raised in height and the number of floors was increased, until finally an exaggerated 31 floors were built.
As the floors are higher, there will be countless more houses available for sale. This is a big piece of fat meat with huge profits.
Only a few of these houses were actually given to the families of the fallen soldiers, and more than 90% of the others were divided up by interest groups such as Ashok.
"These guys deserve to die." After hearing what Roden said, Feiya said angrily, "I will make them pay the price."
The amount of money involved here is indeed as huge as Roden said, it must be at least several hundred billion rupees.
Fia couldn't tolerate the fact that these tens of billions were embezzled by these scum.
Roton said nothing more. Fia had already made her decision and he couldn't persuade her.
"Director, I don't have any concrete evidence for many of these things, but I can definitely find out what I want to find out," said Roton.
"I believe you." Feiya said in a deep voice, "I will send someone to conduct a secret investigation. With the clues you provided, it is easy to collect some evidence. As long as I have this evidence, it will be enough for me to report it."
Of course, Roton understood this point. The real investigation and evidence collection must be done by the police.
For news media like Fia, just a few clues and evidence are enough.
This is still a responsible media. Some media may report news based on hearsay without verifying its authenticity.
"I'll report this news soon." Fia said and hung up the phone.
Rawdon sighed.
I hope it won't have too much of an impact on Fia.
"Maybe it's a good thing?" Rawdon thought again.
You can't be too pessimistic and always think of the worst case scenario.
In the confrontation between political parties, Fia's behavior is likely to be recognized and supported by the people.
But not everyone can expose these dark secrets.
This is absolutely heroic.
This matter still requires time, and all Roton has to do next is wait.
"Are you going back to your hometown?" That day, Luoton received a call from his parents.
They said they were planning to go back to their hometown.
This was a bit surprising to Luoton, as his parents had moved from their hometown to Mumbai almost twenty years ago.
Rawdon was not even born at that time.
They haven't been back for all these years.
So when they suddenly said they wanted to go back to their hometown, Rawdon was very surprised.
"Yes, one of your uncles from your hometown contacted us and said that the land at home was expropriated by the government. Everyone in the village can get a compensation of 10,000 rupees." said old Mahesh.
Ten thousand rupees, no wonder my parents are so anxious to go back.
Although he had assets worth tens of millions, he did not tell them about what he had.
So this ten thousand rupees was still a huge sum of money in the eyes of his parents.
Moreover, this is a subsidy provided by the government to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a loss if we don’t go back to get it?
The round-trip cost is not much, almost negligible compared to 10,000 rupees.
Luo Dun's hometown is a rural area in Gujarat, which is located northwest of Malaysia and the two states are adjacent.
The current Chief Minister of Gujarat is Laoxian, who has been running the state for many years and has served as Chief Minister since 2001.
During his tenure as Chief Minister, he focused on infrastructure construction and actively introduced foreign investment.
Under his leadership, Gujarat's economic growth rate was the highest among all Indian states.
