Chapter 391: Slapping the Federal Ministry of the Interior

Reversing the poor image of the Central Bureau of Investigation will not only establish Vedras’ authority but also take his power to a higher level.

Public opinion is still very important.

In the past, these people, whether from the Central Bureau of Investigation or the police, were all high and mighty and didn't care much about public opinion on individuals.

In their opinion, what is the use of the voices of these grassroots people?

Even if they have opinions about me, who cares? I will just do what I want to do.

If they care about the public's personal opinions about them, can it help them get promoted?

It’s difficult and a lot of the time it’s a thankless job.

After all, there are so many people, and if you can satisfy one or two, it is difficult to satisfy all of them.

It's better to just go with the flow like everyone else.

What's so special? It's not easy to be the first to stand out.

But now, he found that if the support of these people was guided well, the effect would be amazing.

After all, the base number is too large.

The base is large enough to influence votes in the general election.

This is even more sensitive for politicians.

As for government officials, if they have the support of a large base of the people, it will obviously be easier for them to get benefits such as promotion.

The reason why Widders made such a change was because he saw this successful example in Rodon.

There is no doubt about Rotten's ability, but almost everything he did was supported by the people.

With a popular base, the influence is huge.

Therefore, Luoton received many favorable bonuses in promotion and also got many opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

For example, when Rawdon was transferred back from Gubang to quell the riots in New Delhi, wasn't it because of Rawdon's image and influence among the people over the years that he was chosen by the old immortal?

If we want to pick out capable police officers among the police, we can still pick out some.

But those people do not have the advantage that Luoton has among the people.

Of course, Vides doesn't want to use public opinion or popular sentiment to get himself promoted now.

He has reached the limit of his promotion and is already the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. If he wants to become the Federal Home Minister, he can only resign and run for election.

This is obviously unrealistic.

His only goal at the moment was to give the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation more power and remove as many constraints as possible.

Now that he is the director, he always feels unhappy because he has too many restrictions.

If these constraints were removed and my power increased greatly, it would be a promotion to myself in a way.

So if Vides wants to maintain its reputation, these two cases must be handled well.

Then there must be sufficient time for investigation. If we want to complete the case in three, five or ten days, how is it possible?

If we really follow Rajnath and his colleagues' idea, we should arrest them directly without caring about the evidence and convict them in a short time. Although the Central Bureau of Investigation has often done this in the past, this time is different and we cannot do that.

The two cases are too serious, involving big names, and they have attracted too much attention.

If I really do this, I will be under a lot of pressure.

The Congress Party will definitely fight back. After all, there are problems on its side, and the Congress Party can use these as leverage to attack itself.

It can be said that he was the one taking the blame for Rajnath.

Only a fool would do such a thankless task.

Therefore, since Vides wanted to use these two cases to change the image of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he was willing to abide by laws and regulations during the investigation.

In fact, the circumstances of these two cases are not complicated and the facts are clear.

Perhaps there will be many forces that will obstruct, but Vides believes that as long as he is given some time to deal with it, he will be able to get it done.

After all, he has worked in the Central Bureau of Investigation for so many years and is now the boss here, so he still has such confidence.

It just takes a little more time to organize and collect evidence.

With this decision, Vides didn't want to listen to Rajnath's advice at all. It would definitely not be possible in the short term, and he didn't want to do that.

Rajnath's initial urging and current actions have made Vides angry. This is an interference in his exercise of power as director.

If anyone wants to reach out his hand here, Vides will pick up the sword without hesitation and cut it off.

Not even the federal interior minister.

…

In the New Delhi Police Department, Rawdon was in his office looking at the newspapers just delivered by his men.

Looking at some of the reports above, his brows furrowed slightly.

What Rawdon's eyes caught was an interview with CBI Director Widders.

When Vides was interviewed by reporters yesterday, he was asked about the progress of the two major cases, the telecommunications case and the coal mine gate case.

Vides said that these two cases would take time, and without two or three months, the Central Bureau of Investigation would not release too many investigation details.

This answer contradicts the statement made by the Federal Ministry of the Interior a few days ago.

The Federal Ministry of the Interior said a few days ago that the two cases will soon have results, which will be announced to the public. This will take only about ten days.

In fact, a few days ago, when Roton saw the news from the Ministry of the Interior, he was a little surprised.

How can such a short time be enough for such a big case?

After all, Roton had handled many big cases and knew the circumstances involved.

These two cases in particular are not comparable to some other major cases.

In the past, one major case would consume countless efforts, but with these two major cases, it would be impossible to give some results within the time limit of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

If there really is, then the result is likely to be problematic.

Now this interview by Vides is actually a response to the report of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

This completely refutes the previous time statement of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Roton picked up the phone on the desk and pressed a few number keys, but after pressing a few, Roton hung up the receiver again.

He wanted to call Vides to ask about the situation.

But he found that he didn't seem to have much reason to ask these questions.

Although he holds the title of Special Investigation Commissioner of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he is not considered to be a member of that bureau.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

You can only intervene if you receive orders and are assigned tasks.

Generally speaking, if we intervene, it is only limited to the cases we are responsible for, and we are not allowed to ask too many questions about other matters.

Also, although he had a good relationship with Vides, this matter obviously involved some power issues of Vides as the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Roton felt that he should not rashly get involved.

After all, things related to power are still very sensitive. Even among friends, a certain sense of boundaries is needed to better maintain friendships.

Roton felt that there were some conflicts between Vides and the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which was actually not a good sign.

Nominally, the Central Bureau of Investigation still comes under the jurisdiction of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

However, Roton believed that Widdes was not a reckless person, otherwise he would not have been able to become the director.

Since he did this, he must have his reasons.

In fact, this kind of game between superiors and subordinates exists everywhere.

From the director and deputy director of a department to the ministries and specific institutions under them.

For example, the relationship game between the Federal Ministry of Home Affairs and the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the relationship between the state police departments, etc.

Especially since these ministers are elected by the people, while the heads of the specific executive departments below are civil servants, it is normal for conflicts to exist between the two.

Many times, the heads of these executive departments are likely not to buy into the advice of these elected ministers.

The reason is very simple: no one knows when these ministers will step down. The good ones can serve for several terms, while the bad ones cannot even serve for one term.

Some may even be taken down after just a few months.

Therefore, they are generally not worthy of the flattery of the top civil servants below. At most, they can be given a certain respect and maintain normal relations.

After all, for these civil servants, they don’t care who the minister is, as their positions are relatively stable anyway.

As long as it is not too excessive, no matter which party comes to power, they have to be used.

In Rawdon's opinion, the Federal Ministry of the Interior was obviously a little impulsive and too anxious this time.

How could such a big case be handled so hastily? What could be done in such a short time? Perhaps these decisions of the Federal Ministry of the Interior did not satisfy Vides.

Because this statement was made by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, but in the minds of the people, it is equivalent to the statement of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

After all, the investigation of the case is the responsibility of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

So in Vides' opinion, the Ministry of the Interior bypassed him as the director and announced it directly to the public.

Where does this behavior put him as the director? It is obviously a challenge to Vides' authority.

Judging from Vides' response, he obviously did not want to take the blame and made some clarifications.

But the real subtext is that Vides is dissatisfied with the Ministry of the Interior and is extremely angry.

If he wasn't too angry, Vides could have negotiated with the Federal Ministry of the Interior in private. There was no need to report the matter to the news media.

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the Federal Ministry of the Interior? Luo Dun can understand some of the Federal Ministry of the Interior's ideas, they are speaking on behalf of the People's Party.

Of course, suppressing the Congress Party is the consensus of the BJP.

These two cases are extremely beneficial to the BJP. They are powerful weapons to strike against the Congress Party and must be used well.

But this is too hasty.

In his heart, Roton did not quite agree with this. He definitely stood on the side of Vides.

This is not only because he has a good relationship with Vides, but also because Roton himself is a civil servant.

The police system is also under the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

The Ministry of Home Affairs can do this to the Central Bureau of Investigation today, and it can target the police system tomorrow.

Speaking of which, the police system is not as strong as the Central Bureau of Investigation. Isn't it easier for the Ministry of the Interior to control it? Therefore, Rawdon knew very well that Vides's approach would definitely gain support from many people, especially the police.

They don't want to see a strong Ministry of the Interior.

In name, everyone can obey the Federal Ministry of the Interior, but they still want to have greater autonomy.

Who is willing to put their power in shackles?

"Let's wait and see." Roton thought to himself that he still needed to wait and see how the situation developed.

I don’t know whether the Federal Ministry of the Interior will respond to Vides’ words.
