Chapter 523: Coalition
"The Congress Party is so arrogant." someone said angrily.
"That's right. The media over there have been stirring up trouble and causing us so much trouble. No matter what the matter is, as long as it is not in our favor, they will report it in a big way and exaggerate it..."
In fact, this kind of reporting is mutual.
When the BJP targeted the Congress Party, it exaggerated many things and even made up a lot of false accusations.
This is the war of public opinion, and when targeting opponents, it can be said that every possible means will be used.
They won't blame these on the epidemic now.
At the beginning, you can blame it on the epidemic. You can say that the epidemic was too sudden and caught people off guard.
But the epidemic has lasted for so long that the government must have responded and come up with various measures.
Today, India is still in chaos. The responsibility naturally lies with the ruling party. It is you who have failed to manage this household well.
Many people in the BJP will never admit this. In their view, it is the Congress Party and other opposition parties who are secretly fanning the flames that have prevented them from defeating the epidemic and restoring the economy.
If I don't want to take responsibility, then someone has to take responsibility, right?
So they all want to push all this onto the Congress Party and let the Congress Party take the blame.
"You can put part of the responsibility on them, but do you think it's realistic to completely shirk the responsibility?" the old immortal said in a deep voice.
This time the People's Party must take some responsibility, otherwise how will the people see it? That would be a lack of responsibility at all.
The Congress Party is no longer the ruling party, so it is impossible for them to bear the main responsibility for such things.
"Isn't that too easy for them?" someone said indignantly.
"I must teach them a lesson, otherwise I will not be able to swallow this anger."
Everyone present spoke up, expressing their deep resentment towards the Congress Party.
As the epidemic becomes more and more serious, Laoxian has imposed more restrictions on them, fearing that some of their actions will cause dissatisfaction among more people.
This reduces their chances of making money.
Coupled with the targeting from the Congress Party, it becomes even more difficult for them to make money.
They hate the Congress Party to the core.
"No matter what we do next, the Congress Party cannot just let it go," Nirmala said.
She still has great prestige within the People's Party, and many ministers surround her and follow her lead.
There is no way around it. The current Law Enforcement Bureau is so powerful and has received all kinds of resources from the old immortal, which has led to Nirmala's status rising.
When they heard her voice, everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.
"What do you want to do?" Hermite asked in a deep voice.
He and Nirmala don't get along, and Ermit usually doesn't agree with some of her opinions.
Even if the old immortal supports it, he can't oppose it, but he will usually abstain from voting.
This is to express dissatisfaction with Nirmala.
Although it can't change the result.
“I think we can start with Punjab,” Nirmala said with a faint smile.
She seemed not to notice the unfriendly look from Hermite.
Nirmala's words serve as a reminder to everyone.
As for Punjab, people are actually still very concerned.
The main thing is that this time the farmers’ unrest has caused everyone a lot of headaches.
The main people behind this are the big landlords in Punjab, and they have no choice but to pay attention.
They already know that the Congress Party and other opposition parties are not the protagonists here, because the Congress Party has also been embarrassed in Punjab. The protagonists are the local forces in Punjab, and of course those agriculture-related organizations. If these guys join forces, they will still have great power.
Agricultural food security is still very important for a country.
The Congress's support rate there has plummeted now, and they are using various methods to win back the hearts of the people in Punjab.
However, in other places, the Congress Party used agricultural reform to put pressure on the BJP.
They claim that agricultural reforms have harmed the interests of farmers and so on.
Nirmala's mention of Punjab now is obviously aimed at the Congress's position as the ruling party in the state.
Now Punjab Chief Minister Amadlin has suffered various attacks, both from within the Congress Party and from outside. It can be said that his position is already precarious.
This is a kind of unrest within the Congress Party, and the BJP will definitely have a chance here.
By getting rid of Amadrin, the BJP might be able to gain an advantage in the next local election in Punjab.
You know, next year is the election year in Punjab.
"Our support rate in Punjab is not that high now." The old immortal sighed.
That place was the traditional stronghold of the Congress Party. Although the BJP wanted to stir up trouble there, the benefits were obviously not high.
So their main focus is on other states where it is easier to defeat the Congress.
The importance of Punjab is placed at the back, so their strength there is not very sufficient.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, this time Amarinder is facing internal and external troubles. His support rate in Punjab has dropped sharply. This trend is difficult to reverse," Nirmala said. "There is still some time before the general election next year. We can definitely fight for it. At least we can't let the Congress dominate Punjab anymore."
"That's right. As long as we and other political parties can get more seats in parliament, preferably more than half of the seats, then even if we are not enough alone, we still have a chance to join forces with others to govern," someone said.
Everyone is still very moved by Nirmala’s suggestion.
Although this agricultural reform has put them under tremendous pressure, it is not all bad in Punjab.
At least the influence of the Congress Party in Punjab has been reduced, so that we can better intervene in the general election there.
As long as the Congress Party does not have a majority of seats, with the current power of the BJP, it is very likely that it will be able to convince other political parties in Punjab.
By then, a coalition government can be formed, and we can make concessions and choose an obedient small political party to serve as chief minister.
As long as the chief minister is not from the Congress Party, the BJP can fully accept it.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." The old immortal said with relief.
He knew that many people were unhappy with Nirmala.
Political opponents naturally hate Nirmala, but even on the BJP side, many people have a problem with her.
The main reason here is that Nirmala has too much power, and everyone has a lot of opinions about the fact that I am too biased towards Nirmala.
But the old immortal is not willing to change this favoritism.
Because Nirmala can make good use of the Enforcement Bureau. As long as he has the Enforcement Bureau as a weapon, he can deal with his political opponents very well.
Judging from the examples of the Law Enforcement Bureau in recent years, the results are very good.
Therefore, he had great trust in Nirmala. If there were any difficult or troublesome matters, as long as they were handed over to Nirmala, there would basically be no problem.
"Don't worry. The Congress Party has done a lot of things in Punjab. I think the Enforcement Bureau needs to be dispatched. I believe the people there are very willing to see those greedy guys caught." Nirmala said with a smile.
Everyone laughed too.
Before the agricultural reform, Amarinder had considerable influence in Punjab and had a strong control over the state's affairs.
So if the Enforcement Agency wants to arrest him, they will probably be met with fierce resistance from Amarinder.
That is their home ground and territory. If they incite people to cause trouble, the law enforcement agency will also be in trouble.
Things are different now, the people of Punjab are very disappointed with Amarinder and his people this time.
At this time, if the law enforcement bureau intervenes from the perspective of law enforcement officers, I believe the resistance will be much smaller.
Nirmala doesn't care about the resistance from the Congress Party alone.
She was still worried that the public would cause too much trouble.
Now that the possibility of public unrest has been almost ruled out, it is impossible for them to contribute to the Congress Party. Even if they do, the number and scale of the people gathered will be much smaller.
Nirmala believes that the Enforcement Directorate is very capable in handling such matters.
"I feel at ease leaving it to you." The old immortal laughed.
“But I think the Central Bureau of Investigation should also be brought on board,” Nirmala said. “I believe that if we join hands with the Enforcement Directorate, the results will be better.”
When Ermit heard this, he frowned and immediately said, "It's enough to leave this matter to the Law Enforcement Bureau."
Ermit's first reaction to Nirmala's opinion was to oppose it.
Especially since Nirmala mentioned the Central Bureau of Investigation, Ermit instinctively became alert.
This is definitely not a good thing for us.
Would Nirmala be so kind? If there is any merit, would she ask the Enforcement Bureau to give some to her? "There are still many politicians in Punjab who have committed serious crimes, and it is not just an economic problem. This is the responsibility of the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the Enforcement Bureau cannot intervene. Otherwise, Vedas will cause trouble for us again, saying that we have exceeded our authority." Nirmala smiled.
These words made Hermite's heart sink.
He finally understood that Nirmala was trying to put on an act of contempt in front of so many people.
Everyone knows that the Central Bureau of Investigation is a department under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Ermit probably understood Nirmala's thoughts.
Previously, those farmers had broken through several checkpoints leading to New Delhi. There was indeed a negative side to Videsi in this, which definitely made Nirmala bear a grudge.
No, to be more precise, it should be that the old immortal was dissatisfied.
What Nirmala said might be what the old immortal meant.
Hermite had to face this matter seriously.
"Then let the Central Bureau of Investigation come together." The old immortal said calmly, "They are both privileged law enforcement agencies. I still hope that the two can cooperate sincerely so that we can better carry out the investigation."
Since the old immortal had spoken, Hermite had no choice but to agree.
As expected, Vides’ last incident was a bit out of the ordinary.
This makes the old immortal very unhappy.
In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Vides' last action.
Vides didn't even discuss this with me.
However, if he discussed it with me, I would probably stop him.
Vides was probably determined to put on a fuss over the law enforcement agency.
It's a pity that Vides still couldn't keep his composure. The Law Enforcement Bureau is now too highly regarded by the old immortal. Targeting the Law Enforcement Bureau at this time is equivalent to targeting the old immortal.
Of course, Hermite could also understand some of Vides' difficulties.
After all, Vides still has to take care of the emotions of the entire Central Bureau of Investigation.
In the final analysis, the Enforcement Bureau has too much power, which has greatly weakened the power of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
This also made Hermite feel very helpless.
Because this meant that his power as the Minister of the Interior was also greatly weakened, and all the power he lost was added to Nirmala, which made Ermit even more depressed.
Ermit roughly understood that this time Nirmala asked the Enforcement Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation to go to Punjab together to cause trouble, in fact, it was to help the Enforcement Bureau share the firepower.
This kind of thing will definitely be met with fierce counterattack from the Congress Party.
The current epidemic has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the public. Although the Law Enforcement Bureau is in the name of law enforcement, it still makes many people disgusted.
Because the law enforcement of the Law Enforcement Bureau is indeed a bit too excessive, and the various attacks on political opponents are very blatant, and anyone can see it.
Especially this time, it is clearly aimed at the Congress Party. How can the Congress Party tolerate it? This time, the Central Bureau of Investigation was involved, which at least gave it another excuse.
Ermit could foresee that the Enforcement Bureau would definitely not cooperate with the Central Bureau of Investigation in the investigation in Punjab.
Even if it is cooperation, the Law Enforcement Bureau must be the boss.
Vides would definitely not agree with this.
In short, the Enforcement Bureau will definitely make a big move so that they can hit Amarinder. This is what Nirmala meant and also what the old immortal meant.
A big commotion means there will definitely be chaos.
In the end, the Central Bureau of Investigation also has to bear some responsibility for this mess.
But then again, the CBI does have the power to investigate these politicians.
Now the people of Punjab are very dissatisfied with the ruling party, and the Central Investigation Bureau cannot refuse such an order.
When Hermite gave the order to the Central Bureau of Investigation, it was useless for Vides to be angry.
He doesn't want to work with the law enforcement agency.
By then, even if there are benefits, they will basically be monopolized by the Law Enforcement Bureau.
If anything bad happens, the CBI will most likely be blamed.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's because they are not as strong as the Law Enforcement Bureau now.
The law enforcement bureau has people to protect us, and we can’t compare with them at all.
Hermite had already said that the matter was a foregone conclusion and he could not change it.
In this case, Vides had to participate in the investigation.
"Vides, I still have something to remind you." After saying this, Hermite gave a special reminder, "The higher-ups may have to settle accounts with the peasants for breaking through the checkpoint last time. You have to be more careful. That woman is not easy to mess with. She might cause trouble for you."
"What? What else can she do to me?" Vides sneered.
Hearing this, Hermite didn't know what to say for a moment.
In short, he had a bad feeling.
