Chapter 525 Independent Campaign
Everyone present was curious about what good ideas Nirmala would come up with.
Nirmala smiled and said, "We can make things more chaotic in Punjab."
"More chaos?" Someone immediately came to his senses and said, "Yes, we can send the Enforcement Agency to investigate Charanjit and his relatives and friends. By then, it will be difficult for the Congress Party to gain higher support in Punjab."
"That's right, we have to let the Central Bureau of Investigation in again. They were sneaky last time, so we have to force them to take real action this time." Someone else said.
Most people think this is a great idea.
No one can withstand investigation, especially the relatives of these politicians, who will be found out if investigated.
No one knows this better than them.
Because that's who they are.
If Charanjit is busy dealing with these investigations and basically can't do anything else, how can his approval rating go up?
"No, that's not what I meant. The Enforcement Bureau has faced a lot of criticism recently. If we use it again, it will probably cause a lot of trouble. There's no need for that," Nirmala said.
These words stunned everyone present.
Nirmala didn't keep the secret and continued, "I mean we can start with Amarinder. He didn't resign as chief minister voluntarily this time."
“That’s the Chief Minister. Who would be willing to resign voluntarily?” someone laughed.
"Since it was not voluntary but forced, do you think he has any resentment towards the Congress Party?" Nirmala asked with a smile.
After these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent again.
There was a look of realization on everyone's face, and they probably figured out what Nirmala was really going to say.
“So we can recruit Amarinder and get him to join the BJP?” someone immediately suggested.
The old immortal sat in the upper seat, pondering in his mind.
Of course, he now understood Nirmala's thoughts.
Although Amarinder was forced to resign, he was the Chief Minister of Punjab after all.
And this time the Congress's plummeting support in Punjab is not entirely Amarinder's fault.
The Congress Party still has to take the blame behind this.
The support given by the Congress Party to Amarinder was not strong enough.
Of course, no matter how much support the Congress Party gives to Amarinder, it cannot prevent the implementation of Laoxian’s agricultural reform project.
Regardless, Amarinder still has considerable influence in Punjab.
Now the Congress Party has nominated Charanjit to come to power in order to quickly win over Amarinder's power and then further regain the support rate.
Amarinder’s attitude is crucial to success here.
If there is no external intervention, even if Amarinder is dissatisfied with the top leaders of the Congress Party, he will most likely cooperate.
But if I extend an olive branch to him, there will be a lot of variables.
As long as Amarinder does not cooperate wholeheartedly with Charanjit, it will be a huge victory for their BJP.
For the People's Party, the price to pay is actually not that high. For example, recruiting him and letting him join the People's Party is a good choice.
In this case, Amarinder is on the side of the BJP.
Amarinder’s influence in Punjab became his side.
The increase in influence on their side means the weakening of the Congress Party. Everyone can make the calculations of this deal.
"It's okay to recruit him, but I think we need to be cautious about letting him join the BJP directly," said Nirmala.
"What's the problem?" asked the old immortal.
"After all, Amarinder was against agricultural reforms before. If he joins the BJP directly, wouldn't that be a complete reversal of his previous stance?" Nirmala said. "Then how much influence will he have in Punjab? I think we can let him leave the Congress Party and form an independent party to run for election. We are secretly supporting him and I believe these are not a problem. There is still enough time for the general election next year. After the election, he will join forces with us, and his votes will be ours, right? I believe that will be a huge blow to the Congress Party at that time."
"Great, this plan is perfect." someone said loudly.
Everyone applauded.
Nirmala's plan was indeed more comprehensive than what they had thought and he had taken many details into consideration.
Allowing Amarinder to become independent is actually poaching the Congress Party.
Not directly incorporating Amarinder into the BJP is also a way to avoid some of the negative impacts brought by Amarinder.
For the BJP, no matter how much trouble Amarinder, who has become independent, makes, it will be beneficial to them.
Correspondingly, it has damaged the interests of the Congress Party.
Amadlin is considered a veteran of the Congress Party and has many connections within the party.
Although this power struggle failed, it still had some influence.
When he becomes independent, I believe he can still bring out some people.
This will not only weaken the Congress Party's strength in Punjab, but also weaken the overall strength of the Congress Party.
For the BJP, nothing would be more pleasing than weakening the Congress.
“But there is a problem. The Delhi Adolf Party now has considerable influence in Punjab. We cannot ignore it,” someone suddenly reminded.
This matter certainly cannot be hidden from the BJP. After all, they want to seize power in Punjab, so they must thoroughly investigate the various factions there.
The Delhi People's Party's original base was in Delhi, but in recent years it has been expanding to surrounding states.
For now, the influence in Punjab is the most successful.
Their support among the people in Punjab is not low. Especially after the Congress Party's support rate plummeted this time, the Delhi Aidilfitri Party is obviously one of the biggest beneficiaries.
Therefore, while the BJP pays attention to the Congress Party, it cannot ignore the existence of other parties such as the Delhi Aidilfitri.
"If Amarinder stands on our side, combined with our own seats and those of some of our allies, I believe we still have a good chance of taking power." Someone else said, "The most important thing right now is to bring down the Congress Party, after all, they are the ruling party."
The matter regarding the Delhi People's Party was only briefly mentioned at the meeting and then passed.
They didn't take these things too seriously.
Because in their view, the Delhi Awami Party has influence only in Delhi.
In recent years, the Delhi People's Party has been trying to expand outward all the time, but unfortunately it has not been smooth.
With this view, they are also not optimistic about the actions of the Delhi Aidilfitri in Punjab.
They still placed their main opponent on Charanjit.
They think they can still distinguish the main opponents.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." The old immortal looked at Nirmala and said.
Lao Xian didn't think much about the Delhi Civilian Party. After all, apart from the fact that they need to be paid attention to in Delhi, they really don't have much influence outside of that.
"Don't worry." Nirmala naturally did not refuse.
This plan was proposed by her, so of course she was the one who implemented it.
In her opinion, this plan is 100% likely to succeed.
Amarinder is really helpless and extremely angry now. All we need to do is add a little fuel to the fire and give him some support to pull him over.
Nirmala was well aware that many people present had opinions about her, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.
That's because she has too much power now.
The more power she has, the less power others have.
Therefore, the best way for Nirmala to show his worth is to satisfy the old immortal.
As long as he could make contributions, who would dare to object? "Did they come to you?" Roden asked after hearing what Feiya said.
"Yes, didn't you say I could help them a little?" Feiya brought a cup of tea to Luoton and said, "Some time ago, I introduced Bhagwant to many relatives and friends in Punjab. I believe it will be of great help to them."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Luoton knew these things.
After all, that was what he meant.
Last time, Arvind asked Bhagwant to convey the idea of joining forces through Itas, and Rodon basically agreed.
However, this matter is still kept secret and has not been made public.
In fact, this kind of help has already begun in secret.
With the help of the Mishra family's influence and network, Bhagwant now has the support of many powerful landlords and wealthy families in Punjab.
It can be said that Roton helped them a lot.
If it weren't for Fia, it would have been difficult for them to get the support of these people.
"Now they want Truth News to help with public opinion. Isn't this too direct?" Fia asked.
Of course, she understood what Rawdon was thinking. Now, their relationship with the Delhi Civilian Party was basically still in the dark. If her media was too biased towards Arvind and his group, it would easily arouse suspicion from others.
So when they made this request, Fia did not agree immediately, but wanted to ask Roton's opinion.
"I know you have an idea, why are you asking me?" Rotten said with a smile.
"Then I'll definitely ask you." Fia replied.
Luoton sighed in his heart, this woman is really considerate.
In fact, for Fia, these are not really a problem. She is a strong woman who works in the news media and is familiar with political struggles.
It can be said that Fia herself can come up with a good solution.
But Fia still asked herself, this is to respect the authority of herself as a man.
In India, male supremacy is supreme.
Even for wealthy noble ladies and strong women like Fia, many aspects of their lives will change after marriage, and dependence on their husbands is a form of submission for them.
"Then agree to them, but try to be neutral in public opinion." Roden said, "For example, publicize their governing measures in Delhi. You can introduce more of the measures they have taken in Delhi so that the people of Punjab can learn more about them and have a better understanding of the Delhi People's Party. These are all facts, and you are just reporting them truthfully. I believe that even if some people are dissatisfied, they can't say anything."
Arvind's governance measures in Delhi are centered on people's livelihood, focusing on education, health care, environmental protection and social welfare, while promoting transparency and anti-corruption policies.
These measures have achieved considerable success in Delhi, making the situation in Delhi much better than before.
Otherwise, Arvind would not have been re-elected as the Chief Minister of Delhi, which is what the people want.
"That's what I thought, too." Feiya said with a grin, "I plan to do an episode about the Punjab election, such as election guessing or something, so I'll give a detailed introduction to the political parties running for the chief ministerial election in Punjab. I'm sure no one will have any objections."
"You have thought it through very carefully." Rotten laughed.
He knew that Fia already had her own ideas.
Some of the ideas I expressed were actually still very rough, and Fia still had to consider the specific details.
In other words, Fia already had an idea in mind.
Asking yourself this question simply shows that this family revolves around you.
Thinking about the fact that Fia agreed to his relationship with the girls of Itas, such a generous woman was very rare, and Roton naturally respected and liked Fia very much.
"Even if they really have objections, can I still care what they think?" Feiya smiled and said, "No one can interfere with me when it comes to news reporting."
Roton smiled. This was the domineering side of Fia.
The title of Queen of Indian journalism is not just given casually. She is a person who sticks to her principles. Once Fia has made up her mind, basically no one can make her change her mind.
Especially since the news is true, Fia will care even less about the opinions of certain political parties.
In fact, since the People's Party came to power, it has been very strict in controlling news and public opinion, and it can be said that it has become increasingly strict.
Many news media of the opposition, such as the Congress Party, have suffered setbacks, such as being investigated under various names and later closed down.
Even if it is still open, due to various administrative interventions from the People's Party, news media companies are unable to focus on building public opinion.
This has given the People’s Party an increasing advantage in public opinion.
However, there are some exceptions, and truth news is a very typical example.
It can be said that the People's Party basically did not care about the truth news, even though the truth news reported some scandals of the People's Party that other media dared not to report.
Even if the People's Party feels uncomfortable, it has to endure it.
This has to go back in time. When the old man was still the Chief Minister of Kupang, he personally presented an award to Fia, praising Fia as a heroine in the journalism industry who dared to tell the truth. Those were all kinds of compliments.
From the perspective of the time, Lao Xian said these things in order to disgust the Congress Party, because the Congress Party was the ruling party at that time.
Fia's insistence on telling the truth and publishing real news is actually a blow to the ruling party.
The more support the old immortal gives to Fia, the more support he will win from the people.
But the situation is different now. The old immortal has come to power, and all kinds of praise have become a get-out-of-jail-free ticket for truthful news.
Because this is a golden signboard personally recognized by the old immortal.
Luoton knew very well that the old immortal must be very depressed.
But it's not easy for him to get angry about this matter.
Especially the power behind Fia is extraordinary.
In addition, Fia's truth news is actually very objective and fair. It not only reports on the scandals of the BJP, but also reports on the scandals of the opposition such as the Congress Party.
That’s why the old immortal can endure it.
