Chapter 465: Lost Terribly

Logically speaking, the Congress Party should not get involved in the power struggle within the Tata Group.

For outsiders, it is better to stand aside and watch this kind of thing.

Getting involved might bring all kinds of trouble.

Is the Tata Group so easy to mess with? But this time, the Congress Party seems willing to provide some help to Cyrus.

This is almost standing in opposition to the Tata family.

This surprised Rawdon a little.

"I can't say they agree, but at least they have that intention. However, the Congress Party hasn't made up its mind yet." Vides said, "Don't be surprised. I think the Congress Party probably needs to use the Cyrus incident to make a big move so that they can put pressure on the BJP. These political parties are good at making trouble."

Roden couldn't help but smile. That's basically it.

These parties will do whatever it takes to create trouble for their opponents.

They may say they are doing things for the country and the people, but they are actually calculating in their hearts.

"Is it related to some recent events in the Congress Party?" Roton pondered in his mind, thinking about some recent developments in the political arena.

"It's related," said Vedders. "It's the National Herald case."

Luo Dun understood, it was indeed the case.

The National Herald case is a relatively famous case in India, not because of the huge amount of money involved.

The amount involved is only tens of billions of rupees, which is nothing compared to those big cases involving hundreds of billions of rupees or even tens of billions of dollars.

The reason why it is famous is because the identities of the people involved in the case are not ordinary.

Just a few days ago, the Enforcement Directorate summoned Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul in this case.

Of course, Sonia and Rahul have not yet gone to the Enforcement Directorate, using various excuses to shirk responsibility.

At the same time, they also mobilized various public opinion forces to confront the Enforcement Bureau, claiming that this was a conspiracy of the BJP and a political persecution of the Congress Party leaders.

To put it bluntly, it is still a struggle in the political arena.

It is a form of suppression of the Congress Party by the BJP.

The case was first filed in 2013 by senior BJP MP Subramanian Swamy, who accused Sonia and her family of abusing Congress party funds and their privileges to acquire The National Herald at a very low price.

Because the real estate owned by this newspaper is extremely valuable, even if the newspaper goes bankrupt, the purchase price should not be that low.

Due to poor management, the print edition of The National Herald was discontinued in 2008 and was later acquired.

Currently, The National Herald is owned by Young India, a non-profit organization founded by Sonia and Rahul, with each holding 38% of the shares in Young India.

It can be said that it belongs to the Gandhi family.

The operation here is actually quite common.

That is, the National Herald owed the Congress Party nearly 100 crore rupees. Later, "Young India" paid 50 lakh rupees to the Congress Party and obtained the right to recover the debt.

Through various operations, Young India successfully took over the National Herald.

This is equivalent to the Congress Party providing nearly 10 billion benefits to the Gandhi family. To put it bluntly, it is embezzling public funds within the Congress Party.

Of course, it can be said that the bigwigs within the Congress Party must have agreed to this kind of embezzlement.

Who would object to such a thing? The Congress Party was still in power at the time, so the lawsuit naturally did not cause any waves.

It’s different now. The People’s Party is in power and this matter can be brought up.

The status of the Gandhi family in the Congress Party is obvious. Targeting the Gandhi family will deal a huge blow to the Congress Party.

In addition to this, another reason is that the National Herald has a considerable influence.

Since the National Herald was acquired, it has started to develop online under the management of Young India and its influence in news has been growing.

This naturally became a propaganda weapon for the Congress Party.

The BJP brought up this adult case not only to undermine the prestige of the Gandhi family, but also to suppress the Congress Party's propaganda tool.

As far as Roton knew, the handling process of this case was not that easy. After all, the two people involved in the case were not ordinary people, and they encountered strong resistance from the Congress Party.

Even at the end, there was no result.

It seems that the Congress Party has won because Sonia and Rahul have not been convicted, which has withstood the pressure from the BJP.

But in Rawdon's view, the Congress Party actually lost miserably.

This case has been going on for so long, and the People's Party has been summoning the parties involved from time to time, perhaps to the court, the law enforcement agency, etc. In short, everyone takes turns to be summoned, regardless of whether you come or not.

This led to this case being mentioned frequently in the following years.

The People’s Party’s news media will report all this extensively, which will continue to brainwash the people.

In the long run, the prestige of the Gandhi family has been weakened invisibly.

It also reduced people's favorable impression of the Congress Party.

Who would be willing to support a political party with so many problems?

The People's Party has been dealing with this case for so long, most likely doing it on purpose, just to drag out the case and not close it.

After all, the People's Party must be well aware that even if they want to close a case, it is not that easy. A lawsuit may not produce any result even after ten or twenty years.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to put these two people in jail, so we will use this method to keep teasing the Congress Party.

"I'm afraid it's not enough for the People's Party to use this case to put two people in jail," said Rawdon.

"That's right, but it will also make the Congress Party busy for a while, which must be uncomfortable." Vides smiled, "So, the Congress Party probably wants to create some trouble for the People's Party in other ways, and pay some other attention to it.

"No matter what the Congress Party is up to, no matter whether it really supports Cyrus or not, it is definitely good for Cyrus in the short term," said Roton. "It seems that Cyrus should be able to continue to tangle with the Tata family."

Cyrus was abandoned by the Enforcement Agency, which is a running dog of the BJP.

It does make sense that the Congress Party is now approaching Cyrus in order to create trouble for the BJP.

"If Cyrus, this guy, doesn't recognize the situation and stops in time, there won't be too many problems. But if he continues like this, the consequences will be serious," said Vides.

"You are not him. Only he knows what he is thinking." Rotten said with a smile.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows how powerful the Tata family is. His Mistry family is far inferior to the Tata family. If he could use the dismissal of the chairman as an opportunity to gain some sympathy from the people and thereby put pressure on the Tata family to get some benefits, I think the Tata family might agree to it in order to calm the situation. But the Tata family will definitely not agree to his crazy counterattack now," said Vides.

"This is probably due to Cyrus' past experiences," said Roton. "From his experience, he has never encountered any major setbacks or failures. Everything has been going smoothly and he has enjoyed great success. His mentality is completely different from that of ordinary people because he has been successful all the time. This time is definitely a huge blow to Cyrus, and he can't swallow it."

"What you said makes sense." Vides agreed, "But he is just looking for death now. Do you really think the Tata family is good-tempered?"

Roton smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that what Vides said was right.

Cyrus was dying.

"Just treat it as a fun thing." said Rawdon.

"Haha~~That's right." Vides laughed and said, "These things have nothing to do with us."

This is the daily routine for Roton and Wides, keeping in touch, discussing work and so on.

Although Rawdon no longer works for the CBI, he can still give Vides some advice over the phone.

This made it quite easy for Vides to deal with the law enforcement agency.

Vides has accepted the strong rise of the Enforcement Bureau.

You have to admit it.

At the beginning, the Central Investigation Bureau was still very uncomfortable with the rise of the Enforcement Bureau.

They believed that this was a provocation from the law enforcement agency and fought back strongly.

But now, the situation is different.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has a different mentality now. They only hope to keep their power. As long as the Enforcement Bureau does not go too far, they can tolerate it.

Of course, we must not show weakness in our external statements and must remain tough.

But deep down, I have already accepted the dominance of the law enforcement agency.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There is no way. The Enforcement Bureau has received various supports from the old immortals. In this regard, even Rajnath has to give in.

Bowede came to Rawdon's office again after three months.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you today," said Bowede.

"Are you going back to New Delhi?" asked Rawdon.

"Yes, the matter in Mumbai has been concluded." Bowede said, "Thank you for your help during this period. If it weren't for the cooperation of the Mumbai police, I don't know how long this work would have been delayed."

Bovede stayed in Mumbai for almost three months.

He had been rushing here since the demonetisation incident came out.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he has been in Mumbai for the past three months. He must have gone back to New Delhi during that period, but it is true that he has been in Mumbai most of the time.

Because of the incident of those rich and powerful people hiring people to exchange money, Bovede arrested a lot of people in Mumbai.

In fact, this kind of thing was happening all over India at the time, with various people being hired to exchange large amounts of currency.

Even though a lot of people have been arrested in Mumbai, other places still have to hire people to exchange the money.

This kind of thing cannot be controlled or managed at all.

Bovede started with some guys in Mumbai, especially because he had been too close to Cyrus before. He wanted to use Shapur as a target to prove to the outside world, especially to the Tata family, that he was not on the same path with the Mistry family.

It is precisely because of this that Poved showed special care to Shapur. Shapur was badly beaten by Poved and suffered heavy losses this time.

The Mistry family's wealth has been greatly reduced.

"You're welcome. It's my duty." Rotten said with a smile.

This time, Bowede's gratitude was sincere.

If it weren't for Rawdon's strong support, his operation in Mumbai would not have been so smooth.

This case of hiring people to exchange currency was handled perfectly.

He has received great praise from Minister Arun.

This is a great achievement.

He had accomplished a great deed and was in a very good mood.

Another thing is that he gained huge benefits from this case. It can be said that all the investigators from top to bottom received a lot of money.

So my gratitude to Rawdon comes from the heart.

Of course, he also wanted to improve his relationship with Roton.

After returning to New Delhi from Mumbai, Bovede immediately went to the Finance Minister's office to report to Arun.

"Very good, you did a great job this time. Even the Prime Minister praised you." Allen said with a smile after listening to Bowede's report.

Of course, what Bowede brought him was good news.

In fact, he was very clear about what was happening in Bombay.

Because in the past few months, Bovede gave him a lot of money, all of which was obtained from the rich people in Mumbai.

How could he not know what was going on over there during this period? Who wouldn't like a subordinate who could make money for him?

So he still respects Bowede very much.

"It is only because of your instructions, sir, that I have achieved these results," Bowede said hurriedly.

Allen smiled. He still enjoyed Bowede's flattery.

"Sir, I noticed that you didn't look very well just now," Bowede asked again.

When he came in just now, he saw Allen's brows were furrowed, obviously he had encountered some troubles.

Normally, he shouldn't ask such questions.

But Powede still cares about Allen's affairs. If the superior has any trouble, wouldn't it be better if he can solve it himself?

"Something about work." Allen sighed and said, "You said that people outside envy me for managing money, but how could they know the difficulties and pressures I face? Money is needed everywhere, the army needs money, to purchase weapons, and government departments also need money. Does this money come from the wind? The national treasury is seriously short of money now, how can there be any money left for them?"

Allen was indeed a little troubled because he had no money.

The people below asked him for money, but he could only delay.

With this delay, the people below must be dissatisfied and they must be cursing in private, which makes Allen very upset.

A good cook cannot cook without rice, and this is his current predicament.

When Bowede heard this, he realized that this was the case.

Of course he was aware of the fact that the Ministry of Finance was short of money.

After all, he is a member of the Ministry of Finance.

In fact, financial losses are not a problem that only occurred after Allen took office, it has always existed.

Various grants and the like should be delayed as much as possible.

If the money cannot be delayed, we should issue less money, maybe only 10% or 20% out of 100 to deal with it. When it really reaches the grassroots, most of the 10% or 20% will probably be intercepted. How much will be left? What can we do with it?

But even so, the Ministry of Finance now finds it difficult to cope with even 10% or 20% in many cases.

Now Allen is robbing Peter to pay Paul. If he continues like this, he won't be able to hold on.

"Sir, I have an idea." Bowede said with an idea in mind.

As a subordinate, I should help my superior solve his problems.
