Chapter 548 Offending Too Many People
Roton knew the result of the upcoming general election. The People's Party would indeed be re-elected, but there was a big problem.
That is, the People's Party holds less than half of the seats in parliament, and they can only form a coalition government with other allied parties.
This will be a huge blow to the power of the BJP.
In the first two elections, the People's Party had the final say because they alone held more than half of the seats and could completely ignore the opinions of other political parties.
The third victory seemed like a victory to Laoxian and his friends, but in fact it was a complete defeat.
You know, before the election, they made bold statements and created hype in the news media.
The impression given is that they are sure to win, the current situation is very good, and the number of seats in the Federal Parliament will far exceed that of the previous two sessions.
Unexpectedly, the result was a loud slap in the face for them.
There are many reasons why this happened.
However, one thing is certain, that is, the old immortal has touched the interests of too many people during his years in power.
It can be said that except for the People's Party itself, the interests of other forces have basically suffered great damage.
So, these people naturally began to join forces.
This includes some forces that are usually neutral, and they have begun to trip up Laoxian and his men openly or secretly.
Another crucial point is that the epidemic has also dealt a heavy blow to the People's Party.
Actually, this cannot be blamed on the People’s Party.
If any other political party in India were to come to power and encounter such a catastrophic emergency, they would not do better than the BJP, and might even do worse.
But someone has to be held accountable for these things, and this government obviously cannot escape its responsibility.
Apart from these, the People's Party has not really accomplished anything in the two terms it has been in power.
Many of the policies promoted by Lao Xian were promoted very enthusiastically, but in fact, there was almost no follow-up.
His idea is good, but it is basically difficult to implement at the grassroots level.
After all, the Indian states have a great deal of autonomy, especially those controlled by opposition parties, which basically go against the BJP.
Of course, although the old immortal is a hero, he is helpless in many things.
During his tenure, in order to secure votes and support for the BJP, he had no choice but to stir up religious conflicts within India.
Because the Hindu population is large, Laoxian supports Hinduism and suppresses Islam.
This is the only way to win more votes.
This result must have been good at the beginning. The BJP inspired Indian nationalism and made people a little fanatical.
But later, other political parties also discovered this benefit.
Then they followed suit and supported Hinduism in various ways.
If the BJP gives 10 rupees of benefit to the Hindu people in a place, then they will give more, 20 or 30 rupees.
In short, if you, the People's Party, can do it, there is no reason why everyone else can't do it.
So everyone supports Hindus in attacking Islam in various ways, because this will gain more support from Hindus.
This has led to serious conflicts between religions.
Hindus killing Muslims is becoming more and more frequent.
Of course, many of these things are suppressed locally and usually do not appear in the newspapers.
Islam is at a disadvantage, and with Hinduism dominating, their lives will be difficult.
Of course, some Islamic groups also launched counterattacks, and bloody conflicts occurred.
And these are what politicians want to see.
The more confrontational they are, the more support they will get from the Hindus.
All these have weakened Lao Xian’s policy of winning over Hindus and led to a drop in his support rate, which is an important reason.
In addition, during the old immortal's reign, India's nominal GDP has achieved tremendous growth, and its world ranking has become higher and higher, even surpassing its former suzerain country, Britain.
Regardless of whether the data is fake or not, the numbers are definitely higher, which has made India's self-confidence soar and it feels like a superpower.
The Indian media also spreads various propaganda.
The People's Party naturally regards it as their political achievement, an achievement made under the rule of the old immortal.
But in fact, the proportion of India's manufacturing industry in GDP is getting lower and lower.
You know, after Lao Xian came to power, he proposed the Make in India plan, hoping to improve India's industrial manufacturing level.
However, after so many years, the manufacturing industry has actually declined. This is definitely a problem of the ruling party.
It can be said that the policies implemented by the old immortal during his years in office have basically failed.
However, there is one point that is worth mentioning.
That is, the old immortal often attends various ribbon-cutting activities.
A bridge was completed and the old immortal was present in person to cut the ribbon.
A subway line was opened and Laoxian was present in person to cut the ribbon.
Anyone who pays attention to the news can see Laoxian appearing at various ribbon-cutting ceremonies every now and then.
It seems that the Prime Minister is very idle and he should be called the ribbon-cutting immortal.
In fact, this really can’t be blamed on the old immortal.
In the absence of any achievements in terms of policies, the People's Party can only use such means to show the people the results achieved under the leadership of the old immortal.
This is to increase the exposure of the old immortal. The purpose of creating various myths about the old immortal is to create a cult of personality.
This is the only way to ensure the support rate of the People's Party.
Use these to cover up their failures in governance.
Severe inflation in recent years has made people very dissatisfied with the government.
Instigated by other opposition parties, many people abandoned the People's Party during the next general election.
Sharif relies entirely on his own analysis, which shows Sharif's sensitivity to politics.
However, Roton felt that Sharif and the others could only think this way now.
Because if the BJP really does far better than in the previous two elections in the next general election, it almost means that their Central Bureau of Investigation will not be able to withstand the strength of the BJP.
Therefore, at this time, whether it is to cheer yourself up or encourage yourself, belittling the opponent is obviously a very important means.
We must boost morale on our side.
Regardless of whether it is a lie or not.
If morale is gone, it would be better to surrender directly and kneel down to the People's Party.
Sharif and his men were obviously unwilling to do this.
The CBI's years of power and privilege have made it impossible for them to accept such humiliating behavior.
They will never give up until the very end.
Besides, the appearance of Roton is the greatest guarantee for their Central Bureau of Investigation.
"The policies of the PPP in the past two terms have offended too many people. I think in the next general election, others will definitely attack the PPP in various ways," Sharif added.
"That's possible."
"Even our interests have been greatly affected, let alone other people." Someone said, "Some people in the BJP are too greedy. Before they came to power, they cursed the Congress Party. Now? They are even more shameless than those people in the Congress Party."
"Who says it's not true? Modi is almost being praised as a god by the BJP. How shameless."
"Why bother with face? Votes are the most real thing. I have to say that the People's Party is quite good at this. These tricks are very effective against the untouchables."
"I don't think you need to worry too much." Sharif smiled and said, "Now everyone is familiar with the BJP's operations. In the first two elections, the Congress and other opposition forces may have been stunned by the BJP. Now that it is the third election, they have come to their senses. I found that many political parties have begun to imitate the BJP's practices and instigate Hindus. In fact, it is not that difficult."
This kind of inter-religious struggle can easily explode.
After all, the conflict between Hinduism and Islam has always existed, and any slight instigation can lead to various tragedies.
Due to the majority of the Hindu population and the tacit support from politicians, Islam is often the victim.
Unfortunately, Islam is a minority in India, which means it has no say and can only become someone else's prey.
"I have noticed what you said."
"Indeed."
Although they are all retired, they still pay close attention to political affairs.
"In my opinion, as long as the Congress Party works harder, there should be a chance that the BJP will not get more than half of the seats," Sharif said.
“Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?”
"The BJP still has a big advantage. The other thing is that the young man from the Congress Party is too unreliable. If he didn't rely on his good family background, he wouldn't even be able to do an ordinary job. His sister is much better than him."
Largo's political talent is really average.
Especially when facing a tyrant like Lao Xian, it was like a three-year-old child versus a strong man, how could he win? So La Ge was beaten badly.
Although he has the background and support of the Congress Party, many people still look down on his abilities.
The Congress Party is now becoming increasingly weaker, and it is clearly unable to cope with the BJP.
How long can he keep the title of leader of the opposition? "No matter what, the Congress Party is still the backbone of the opposition," Sharif said. "In fact, I want to say that this time, let alone the opposition, I am afraid that the BJP's allies will secretly make trouble. It is not in their interest for the BJP to be too strong. Look, the main ministers and key positions of this government are almost all from the BJP. What kind of crappy positions are those allocated to the allied parties? In the first term, the BJP even pretended to leave some good positions for its allies. If this situation continues, if the BJP really gets more than half of the seats in the third term, these allies will probably be kicked out directly."
Sharif couldn't help but glance at Rawdon when he said this.
Roton noticed Sharif's gaze and roughly understood what Sharif meant.
This must be because they were thinking of Kanina and her group of the Common People's Party.
Although the People's Party is much better this time than the first time, it is insignificant to the People's Party in terms of the number of MPs.
That is to say, for the sake of Roton's face, Kanina and others were assigned some positions. Of course, they were all deputies and had no real power.
The real power still lies in the hands of the People's Party.
If the People's Party succeeds in the next general election, it will be difficult for the People's Party to even get these deputy positions.
Although these deputy positions do not have much real power, Kanina and others have still done a lot of things using this position.
Everything we do is to gain more support from the people.
With this position, many of his activities are backed by the government, which makes it easier to win people's hearts.
