Chapter 550: Everything Has a First Time
After Arvind was arrested, the BJP created momentum and exposed all the illegal activities of Arvind, which aroused public anger.
In fact, a big shot like Arvind, who has been in power for more than a decade, will definitely reap benefits for himself.
These are common practices of politicians.
But he was arrested and gave people the feeling that he was a criminal.
Even though Arvind still insisted on fighting the BJP later, unfortunately, his disadvantage was too great.
The BJP made a big fuss out of these things, and after they were exposed, it had a huge impact on Arvind.
In short, under the various attacks of the BJP, the support rate of the Delhi Aidilfitri plummeted, and finally the BJP successfully took over Delhi.
Now, Rodon wants to recruit the Delhi Civilian Party, so naturally, he doesn't want this to happen.
The ruling power in Delhi must not fall into the hands of the BJP. It is in everyone’s interest for the Delhi Aidilfitri to be re-elected.
So this time, Rodun wanted to come and remind Arvind to pay attention to the public support rate to avoid the BJP succeeding.
But judging from Arvind's reaction, Rodon knew he couldn't say anything more.
If I say more, it will make the other person unhappy.
Luoton sighed secretly in his heart.
Roton was somewhat disappointed by Arvind's refusal to listen.
Although he could help Arvind when he was down and out, he was not so sure that the Delhi Aid Party would win the next general election.
The price we have to pay will obviously increase as well.
But it’s better this way. Only when Arvind is cornered can we take him down, and only then can Kanina and the others take the dominant position. Otherwise, how can Arvind be willing to accept this?
Arvind is also a strongman in the political arena, how can he accept the management of a few women? The self-confidence of the members of the People's Party is growing, and naturally, they are trying to gain benefits in various ways.
In their view, no one can fight the BJP now.
The support rate of the Congress Party is now far behind theirs.
Besides, Lao Xian and other senior members of the People’s Party have said that the next general election will be better than the previous two.
This is the People's Party's carnival. They are convinced that they will win a landslide victory in the next general election.
The opposition, including the Congress Party, has become more low-key.
This made the People's Party members even more unscrupulous.
In their view, the opposition must be afraid.
Nirmala is happy with Purved's recent performance.
The Enforcement Agency can be said to be attacking everywhere and causing trouble for opposition politicians in various ways.
This caused many politicians who were originally on the opposition side to turn against the party and join the People's Party.
The strength of the Law Enforcement Bureau naturally made Bowede extremely glorious.
But he still felt a little regretful.
That means there is no way to deal with Vides.
He didn't expect that Vides would quit just like that. He really gave up the position of director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, such a high and powerful position.
Bowede felt that if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.
What makes Bowede most depressed is that the Central Bureau of Investigation is now in the hands of Roton.
Otherwise, even if Vides retired, he would not let Vides have an easy time.
He had been warned by Nirmala not to provoke the CBI.
Purved understood what Nirmala meant.
Rotun's influence is too great. If I continue to put pressure on the Central Bureau of Investigation as before, I will definitely be counterattacked by Rotun, and then I might not be the final winner.
Tapowed is not stupid, so there is no need to confront the CBI head-on at this time.
Moreover, he also knew that all the old guys in the Central Bureau of Investigation had contributed to Rawdon's promotion this time.
In this regard, the Enforcement Bureau really cannot be compared with the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has been strong for many years. These retired senior officials are not simple people, and the network of relationships behind them is intricate.
On the contrary, their law enforcement bureau did not have much power before, which resulted in the influence of those retired old people being relatively limited.
Because these former leaders of the Law Enforcement Bureau are generally those who are not favored by the Ministry of Finance. They are considered the losers in the official struggle and are sent to the Law Enforcement Bureau.
The power of such a former leader naturally cannot be compared with that of the Central Bureau of Investigation. They are not on the same level at all.
In terms of foundation, the Law Enforcement Bureau is far behind in this regard.
Fortunately, Roton was very rational and did not confront his own law enforcement agency.
As long as the Enforcement Bureau does not target the Central Bureau of Investigation, everyone can keep to themselves during this period of time.
The two privileged institutions remained rare in their calm and did not cause any major disturbance.
In November 2022, the government announced the withdrawal of the agricultural reform bill proposed in 2020.
The farmers have been making a fuss. Not long after the Delhi Aidilfitri came to power in Punjab, the old Sena government announced the withdrawal of the plan. It can be said that the Delhi Aidilfitri has put a dent in the BJP in this matter.
In any case, the Delhi People's Party will definitely stand on the side of the big landlords in Punjab and safeguard their interests.
Because this time, the big landlords in Punjab gave great support to the Delhi People's Party, otherwise it would not be so easy for them to come to power.
After the bill was withdrawn, these large landowners can just sit back and receive large amounts of agricultural subsidies from the Indian government every year, which will ensure them a stable income regardless of drought or flood.
"Damn it." The old immortal cursed Arvind in his heart.
Arvind is the head of the Delhi Awami Party. After they took down the Chief Minister of Punjab this time, Arvind has become noticeably more arrogant.
Arvind used to be against us in Delhi, but now he is becoming more and more powerful.
The agricultural reform bill failed this time, and a big reason for this is related to the Delhi People's Party. How can I not be angry?
This was originally a project he wanted to use to achieve political achievements, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
The Congress Party and other opposition parties are probably going to give themselves a hard time over this matter again.
Of course, these are not the most important things.
The important thing is that the old immortal felt powerless.
He really wanted to do something good, but the resistance below was too great.
This is not just a matter of opposition parties, there are also local interest groups rebelling against the federal center.
The old man had great ambitions, but unfortunately, almost all of the policies and reforms he proposed over the years have failed, which would make anyone feel bad.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Arvind is a little inflated now." Nirmala certainly knew why the old immortal was angry.
"So, how is the investigation on Arvind going?" the old immortal said in a deep voice.
"It has been going on. In the past few years, Arvind has transferred benefits in the implementation of policies in the liquor industry, and Purved has found a lot of evidence." Nirmala said.
The investigation into Arvind has actually been ongoing.
The BJP is very concerned about its ruling power in Delhi.
This is absolutely a shame for Laoxian.
After all, the People's Party now holds more than half of the seats and has an overwhelming advantage over other political parties.
The Delhi Awami Party is like a nail, driving it right into their hearts.
The old immortal was originally preparing to take action against Arvind, but now after what happened, the old immortal could no longer tolerate it.
"Can he be arrested?" asked the old immortal.
"This?" Even the usually strong Nirmala hesitated at this moment.
"Is there a problem?" The old immortal frowned.
"There is a problem," Nirmala explained. "Arvind is the incumbent chief minister after all. There has never been a sitting chief minister arrested in Indian history. I wonder if we should first remove Arvind's title of chief minister. Without his status as chief minister, there will be no problem arresting him."
"Do you think it's possible?" The old immortal glanced at Nirmala and said calmly, "Arvind has a very high prestige in the Delhi People's Party. Almost no one can challenge his authority. It is impossible to split like the Shiv Sena. The position of the Chief Minister of Delhi cannot be replaced by someone else from within. If this trend continues, Arvind and his team will still have a great chance in the next Delhi local council election. We must not let this happen. We must take over Delhi."
"But Mr. Prime Minister, if we really arrest Arvind, it will break the convention and the impact will be huge. The Congress Party and other opposition parties will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble," said Nirmala.
Of course she understood all this, but if she really arrested people directly, the impact would be unpredictable.
In short, there is no doubt that the People's Party will suffer a huge blow.
Although the People's Party is extremely powerful now, we still need to be cautious about some things.
"Conventions are meant to be broken. There is a first time for everything." The old immortal sneered, "As long as it is a violation of the law and there is solid evidence, whoever he is, even if he is the chief minister, he will be arrested. I believe the people will support him."
Nirmala could hear the old immortal’s determination.
In that case, Nirmala naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"I will take care of this matter immediately," Nirmala said, "I will definitely let Arvind in this time."
"Very good, just do it. If there are any problems, I will handle them." said the old immortal.
The heat of the agricultural reform bill being repealed has not yet died down, when suddenly another shocking news broke out.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind has been accused of money laundering and corruption in the promulgation and implementation of Delhi liquor policy.
Arvind was accused of providing undue preferences to liquor companies in the liquor sale policy implemented by the Delhi government in 2021-2022, resulting in a loss of about Rs 2,900 crore to the government.
The Enforcement Directorate said Arvind was the key planner of the case and accused him of accepting huge bribes through middlemen, which was extremely heinous in nature.
For this, the Enforcement Directorate summoned Arvind for questioning and investigation.
Arvind also responded quickly. How could he go to the Enforcement Agency for questioning?
He claimed that the Enforcement Bureau's procedures were illegal and that he would not accept any inquiries from the Bureau and would not go to the Bureau.
