Chapter 524: Untouchable Minister

Ermit has studied it and judging from the recent situation, the old immortal has become more and more trusting of Nirmala.

Although he is also the old immortal's confidant, his importance is obviously not as great as Nirmala's in some work assignments.

The old immortal handed over many important matters to Nirmala. It would be fine if they were finance-related matters, but the problem is that many of them were obviously matters of other departments.

This is a very bad signal.

Vides is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Since he has always focused on the Central Bureau of Investigation, this is contrary to the interests of Laoxian.

Ermit felt that Nirmala might plan an action against Vids.

Although this kind of thing sounds a bit shocking, once that woman goes crazy, who can guarantee that she won't do it?

Especially the old immortal is now very supportive of her actions.

Of course, there is no evidence for these Hermitian facts, so maybe I am just overthinking it.

Besides, he is also a member of the BJP.

What Nirmala is doing now is indeed in the interest of the BJP.

This makes Hermite's position somewhat awkward.

He should not be too biased towards Vides, especially when Vides' ideas are not conducive to the People's Party.

"Be careful." Hermite sighed.

He still didn't want anything to happen to Vides.

During this period, his cooperation with Vides was actually quite good.

If the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation is really replaced, who knows what will happen? Unless he is like Nirmala, but Ermit thinks Nirmala's methods are too radical.

In the short term, the effect is immediate.

But in the long run, that may not be the case.

This atmosphere of terror will backfire sooner or later.

It’s just that Nirmala is too powerful now, and if the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation really needs to be replaced, she will definitely intervene.

When the time comes, if there is a new director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he might also side with Nirmala.

Even if this candidate was designated by Nirmala and Laoxian, then wouldn't he, as the Federal Home Minister, lose control of the Central Bureau of Investigation?

Hermite was unwilling to see this result.

Vides is still quite tough. Being the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation is actually a kind of resistance against Nirmala. He naturally hopes that Vides can hold on.

Vides quickly sent out his trusted men, and cooperated with the director of the Punjab branch to take action.

After all, he couldn't refuse this matter, so if that was the case, it would be a bad idea to give Nirmala an excuse to cause trouble for himself.

However, regarding this investigation, Wides hopes that he will not make too much of a fuss.

This time it is a confrontation between the BJP and the Congress Party. In such attacks between political parties, their state institutions should still maintain a certain degree of neutrality.

As for the Law Enforcement Bureau, Vides didn't care about that.

It is obvious that the Enforcement Department is definitely the thugs of the BJP. How could it not be clear who it is targeting? With the intervention of the Enforcement Department, the political situation in Punjab has become even more unfavorable to the Congress Party.

The Enforcement Directorate acted very quickly and launched an investigation against some of Amarinder's close associates.

This made Amarinder even more anxious.

He immediately asked for help from the Congress Party, hoping that they could exert some influence to make the BJP restrain itself, or at least make the Enforcement Agency stop its current actions.

But the Congress Party did not give Amarinder much response and just asked him to figure it out on his own.

This made Amarinder very depressed.

He's been under too much pressure recently, and now he has to compete with those bastards in the Law Enforcement Bureau. How can he have the energy to do that?

What was even more terrible was that he heard a piece of news that the top leaders of the Congress Party had left him out and were secretly discussing a new candidate for the Chief Minister of Punjab.

Before, they were just some rumors, but this time, the news he got was relatively certain.

After all, I am the current Chief Minister.

Does this mean you don't take yourself seriously at all?

Without even discussing it with him? Once this secret discussion was passed, he would have no chance to resist.

Who would want to lose the position of Chief Minister? There are many people in the Congress Party who want to compete for this position.

During this law enforcement process in Punjab, the Enforcement Directorate can be said to have performed brilliantly, arresting a number of corrupt politicians in one fell swoop.

Of course, these politicians are undoubtedly members of the Congress Party.

The media on the BJP side immediately started to build momentum, because those who were arrested were from the Congress Party, and it was easier to smear them.

The Central Bureau of Investigation basically did not do much in this law enforcement process and was simply going through the motions.

This is what Vider specifically told me.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of attack between the two major political parties.

If they really want to arrest them, don’t the politicians from the People’s Party have committed enough crimes?

The Central Bureau of Investigation was very considerate by not arresting anyone from the BJP, at least that's what Vides thought.

The Enforcement Agency only arrested the Congress Party and its related allies, but not the BJP. It was a clear use of power to retaliate against opponents. Vidhan did not want to do such a thing.

Otherwise, wouldn't they have become the BJP's thugs and lackeys? The BJP was very dissatisfied with the CBI's behavior.

In their view, this negative behavior is against the People's Party and is the enemy of the People's Party.

"Chief, something bad has happened." Vides' confidant, the office director, knocked on the door and came in with an anxious look on his face.

"What's the matter again?" Vides frowned slightly, put down a document in his hand and looked at him.

He rarely hears any good news now. All the news he hears is bad. He is somewhat used to it now.

"Director, I just received a message that someone from the law enforcement bureau said they want to investigate you." The director said with a worried look on his face.

Hearing this, Vides sneered and said, "What's the big deal? These words are not just said now."

The Central Bureau of Investigation has a lot of complaints about the Enforcement Bureau, and correspondingly, the Enforcement Bureau also has no good feelings towards the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Previously, the Enforcement Directorate had arrested quite a few people from the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the incident caused quite a stir. Finally, the incident was settled after the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Central Bureau of Investigation gave in a little.

However, there are always people in the Enforcement Bureau clamoring to investigate the top brass of the Central Bureau of Investigation, especially Director Vides, who is the main culprit.

From time to time, there are reports from senior officials of the law enforcement agency that they are going to investigate Vides and others like him.

So, this is not the first time that Vides has heard such words.

"No, Director, I'm afraid we really have to take it seriously this time." The director said, "I'm afraid even the Prime Minister is dissatisfied with you this time. We basically did nothing about the matter in Punjab, which made them very dissatisfied. In addition, the woman in the Ministry of Finance made all kinds of slanders, so it is not good for us, the Central Bureau of Investigation, to you."

"Don't exaggerate." Vides smiled and said, "Our Central Bureau of Investigation wants to maintain its independence, which will definitely not satisfy the Prime Minister. This is not the first time such a thing has happened."

The director still agreed with this statement.

As a privileged agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation can often refuse to execute orders even from the government.

Especially after the BJP came to power, they have been wanting the CBI to cooperate with their actions.

Unfortunately, they often wanted to use the privileges of the CBI to attack their opponents, but such attempts were basically rejected by Vides.

This led to Laoxian supporting the Law Enforcement Bureau in various ways while suppressing the Central Bureau of Investigation.

"Director, this time may be different. They really have a lot of opinions about you. I'm afraid they will really cause trouble for you." The director said with some concern.

"If you want to cause trouble, then come on. Do you think I'm afraid of them?" Vides said with disdain.

It's not the first time that he has been suppressed by the People's Party. Vides has long experienced the shamelessness of the People's Party and is basically not surprised by this.

These days, the Enforcement Agency has been causing trouble for us, hasn't it? Isn't this all instigated by the BJP?

"Director, but~~"

"Let everyone be careful and keep a low profile recently, so as not to give those mad dogs in the law enforcement agency any handle on you." said Vides.

The Central Bureau of Investigation did not actively cooperate in this mission in Punjab. Vides had already expected that they would retaliate against him.

But even so, Vides still did it.

That's because he wanted to let the People's Party know that there was no way he would bow to them.

"Yes, Chief!" The director didn't know what to say.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

The People's Party has been in power for so many years, and I don't know how many times those guys have said harsh words to the director, openly or secretly.

Although it caused considerable trouble to the Central Bureau of Investigation, they had never tried to investigate the director.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mabang Police Chief Moss felt uneasy all over.

Becoming the director of this bureau is a good thing in every way. It is so glorious to be the head of the police department of Malaysia, a major economic state.

But after taking office, he found that it was far from what he had imagined.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to show off, but he doesn’t dare.

Because of Rawdon, Rawdon was the director of the Mabang branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

As long as Rawdon is in Mabon, it's like a knife hanging over his head, which may fall at any time and make him lose his head.

So he really didn't dare to act too recklessly.

Some time ago, Nirmala asked him to do something, which was done secretly.

On several occasions, Rawdon intervened, but this kept him on edge for a long time.

He was afraid that Rotun would take advantage of the situation to cause trouble for him, but luckily Rotun did not follow up, which made him feel more at ease.

He was very clear about Rotten's influence, and he had no chance of winning against Rotten.

Even though Nirmala said he supported him in various ways, when it came to a showdown with Rodon, Moss knew very well that he would be the one who would be sacrificed.

So, Moss is now timid and hesitant in doing things, and he can't let go at all.

He also complained to Nirmala about these things.

This complaint is naturally in the hope of getting more support from Nirmala.

Of course, I hope Nirmala doesn’t blame herself.

After all, he did not complete the task well several times.

However, he attributed these failures to the presence of Rotten, which prevented him from doing things perfectly.

Nirmala said that he would continue to support him and would find a way to resolve these issues in the future.

Nirmala's answer made Moss feel more at ease.

However, Moss still didn't quite believe that Nirmala would take any action against Rodon.

I'm afraid my days in Mabang will be difficult from now on.

After all, if Rodon really goes crazy and removes me as the director of the general bureau, I'm afraid even Nirmala won't be able to save himself.

Roton's interference in several of Moss's missions was not directed at Moss.

Although Roton was somewhat dissatisfied with Moss becoming the chief of the Mabon Police Department, he was not so petty. He believed that luck played a major role in Moss becoming the chief. It was unexpected and could only be said to be God's will.

The few times that Roton took action were actually aimed at the People's Party.

Roton was still willing to make appropriate concessions.

But if you keep giving in, people will think you are easy to bully, and then these guys will become more aggressive.

Even on the People's Party side, Roton would not let them get too complacent.

This time, Moss became the Director General of the Maharashtra Police Department, which is definitely a good thing for the People's Party.

With Moss's cooperation, some people in the BJP wanted to intervene in Maharashtra, especially in some matters in Mumbai.

These people are not doing this for the country or anything, they are just doing it purely for their own interests.

Faced with these things, Luoton naturally couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.

If these guys gain benefits, the interests of some of the original beneficiaries in Mumbai will be harmed.

Rawdon made his fortune in Mumbai. As his status continued to rise, his relationship with the powerful and wealthy people in Mumbai naturally became extraordinary.

That would mean damaging his own interests. How could Roton let this happen?

So, Roton didn't want some guys from the People's Party to get involved.

This was Roton's counterattack, to let those guys know that he still existed in Mabon.

Don't think you can be arrogant just because you have a Moss.

On September 18, the Chief Minister of Punjab was forced to resign as Chief Minister under various pressures.

Two days later, Charanjit Channi was appointed Chief Minister of Punjab from the Congress Party. This move was extremely swift, which shows that the Congress Party was well prepared for this matter.

Charanjit became the first Dalit chief minister in the history of Punjab.

The appointment is clearly a strategic move by the Congress party to win the support of farmers and lower caste voters.

After all, it was this agricultural reform that caused Amarinder's support rate in Punjab to plummet. The Congress Party needs to bring its support rate back. After all, next year is the general election year and time waits for no one.

Being of low caste and being an untouchable is absolutely politically correct in Indian politics. It is a plus and is very useful in winning the support of low castes and the middle and lower classes.

With Charanjit's rise to power, the old immortal still felt nervous.

After all, Charanjit's untouchable status does make the BJP somewhat wary, and the advantages brought by this status are obvious.

In response to this matter, Laoxian immediately convened a meeting, and all the core senior executives attended the meeting.

This shows the importance that Laoxian attaches to the change of Chief Minister of Punjab.

At the meeting, someone proposed that the next BJP chief ministerial candidate in Punjab should also be from the Dalit caste in order to offset the impact of Charanjit's identity.

Most people agreed with this proposal.

They had created all kinds of troubles for Amarinder before, but unexpectedly the Congress Party was decisive and directly forced Amarinder to step down and replaced him with Charanjit.

This was somewhat unexpected for the People's Party.

If the Congress Party wins back the hearts of the people and increases its support rate, this is not their original intention.

People also put forward various suggestions, such as increasing publicity efforts, belittling and smearing the Congress Party, praising themselves, etc.

Of course, there are various benefits for voters, the need to raise more campaign funds, etc.

"I have an idea that I believe will give the Congress Party a headache, and maybe even completely overturn the Congress Party in Punjab." Nirmala spoke after seeing that everyone had expressed their ideas.

As soon as she spoke, everyone else shut up and the meeting room fell silent.

"Tell me about it." The old immortal said with a smile.
