Chapter 553: Annexation of Delhi People's Party
"How can an old politician like Arvind surrender so easily?" Rawdon said, "If we can't make him fall into despair, it will be difficult for us to get what we want. He has just been arrested, and the Delhi Civilian Party must still want to rescue him."
"That's what you say, but are you so confident? What if Arvind is really rescued? Then your plan will fail." Fia said.
"Don't underestimate the BJP's move this time. I think they are determined to get Arvind this time," said Roden. "This is the first time that a chief minister has been arrested. The BJP took this huge risk and did it, which shows their determination."
Feiya thought so too.
The People's Party's move this time is very surprising.
So does she.
No one dared to think that the BJP would take action against the incumbent chief minister of a state, and the chief minister of Delhi at that. The impact of such a move by the Enforcement Department was too huge.
This means that the BJP will have to pay a huge price for this move.
The first is the pressure from public opinion.
Political persecution is the first and foremost charge.
Although the law enforcement agency has always emphasized that it is only acting in accordance with the law, this emphasis is simply not convincing enough.
Since the Enforcement Directorate has been acting as the BJP’s running dogs, his words no longer have any credibility.
The BJP also made some statements to refute the rumors, saying that the arrest of Arvind was in accordance with procedures and that the Enforcement Agency already had evidence of Arvind's crime.
"So do Kanina and the others need to prepare?" Fia asked.
"Of course we need to prepare, but there's no need to rush." Roton said, "This matter cannot be resolved so quickly. I'm afraid the two sides will have to remain in a stalemate for a long time."
"That's right." Feiya smiled, "What exactly are you thinking? If the two families unite, will Kanina take the lead? Even so, I think it's still not safe. This so-called union may break up at any time."
"That is indeed a problem," Rawdon said, "so I think we won't need two populist parties at that time."
Hearing this, Feiya's eyes widened: "You want to merge the two companies?"
No wonder Fia was shocked.
Because all they knew before was that the two families had joined forces, which was considered an alliance.
This alliance is actually not that stable, they can stay together if it is beneficial.
Once there is a conflict of interests, there will be too many cases of breaking contracts and betraying alliances.
It can be said that before, Luoton never expressed his intention to merge the two companies.
Now that Arvind has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate, the power of the Delhi Aidilfitri is likely to be greatly weakened.
The so-called merger, from Roden's perspective, must be Kanina and others annexing the Delhi People's Party.
This merger is definitely more stable than an alliance.
Although there are factions within the same political party, once the Delhi Awami Party is taken down, Kanina and her colleagues will be able to gain a greater advantage.
"After this incident, Arvind's prestige will plummet, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to convince the public," said Roden. "No matter how he argues, the benefits he gained while in office are facts. The Enforcement Agency must have evidence, and he can't deny it. Next, his support rate will probably plummet."
"After all, the Delhi People's Party is not an ordinary small political party. It may not be that easy to merge with it." Fia said with some concern.
The Delhi People's Party has been in power in Delhi for many years. Because it is the capital region, the members of the Delhi People's Party are quite arrogant.
Especially after they took down the Chief Minister of Punjab, their power increased greatly.
Let their self-confidence grow further.
At this time, some people said that they wanted to merge them, and they had to obey the orders of others. How could the Delhi People's Party agree?
"So there's no rush." Roden said, "When they beg us for help, everything will come naturally."
Seeing how confident Roton was, Fia didn't say anything else.
But she was still a little worried.
Can the People’s Party really withstand all the pressure this time?
The arrest of Arvind will definitely lead to joint pressure from opposition parties led by the Congress.
Moreover, many people on the public side may also think that there is something fishy going on.
Under this kind of pressure, can the People's Party still target the Delhi People's Party? Of course, Fia will not interfere too much in how Kanina handles this matter, and she will still listen to Luoton.
Since Roton is so confident, he must have his reasons.
Even if Arvind is really kicked out by the Delhi People's Party, the impact on Kanina and the others is not that big, right? At most, they will not be able to merge, and the alliance should still be acceptable.
Even if Arvind can get out this time, he will be in trouble at least. It will be difficult for him to continue to be the Chief Minister of Delhi.
I am afraid that his position within the Delhi People's Party will face huge challenges.
"Then I'll wait and see what these guys have to offer." Fia said with a smile.
"It will definitely be exciting. The battles between the major political parties will probably be more exciting than a movie." Roton said with a smile, "By the way, there is one more thing you need to do."
"What's the matter?" Fia asked curiously.
"Contact the big landowners in Punjab through the Mishra family and ask them to communicate with Bhagwant." Roden said, "I think Bhagwant is easier to communicate with than Arvind."
Hearing this, Fia showed an intriguing smile on her face.
“You are not trying to drive a wedge between Bhagwant and Arvind, are you?” Fiya asked.
"Don't say such harsh words. What kind of instigation is this?" Rotun squeezed his hand hard.
Fia exclaimed and slapped Roden's hand.
"Arvind's political career is probably over. Even if he is released, he will still have a huge negative impact on the Delhi Awami Party. He is no longer suitable to be the leader of the Delhi Awami Party." Roden said, "It's not surprising that Bhagwant took over. Of course, there must be some resistance."
Bhagwant’s success in Punjab this time has a lot to do with the support from the Mishra family.
It was only after he became the Chief Minister of Punjab that Bhagwant’s position as the second in Delhi Awami Party became somewhat secure.
However, there are still many challengers in Delhi.
These old men have been following Arvind for a long time. If Bhagwant wants to get to the top, these are the obstacles that stand in his way.
"I understand. You want to stabilize Bagwant's base?" Fia said.
"That's right. If we really want to merge, we should choose a partner with whom we have a closer relationship." Roden said with a smile. "Now that Punjab is stable, Bhagwant can let loose in Delhi. As long as he can win the support of some people in Delhi, I believe that by then, he will have no problem becoming the new leader of the Delhi People's Party."
"Okay, leave this to me." Feiya said, "I have a question. Aren't you afraid that Bhagwant will not accept the merger after he takes over?"
"Next, I will ask Kanina and the others to come to Delhi more often to organize activities. After all, they are all civilian parties. The failure of the Delhi civilian party does not mean that Kanina and the others' civilian party will fail." Roden laughed and said, "Of course, the Mishra family also has a great influence in Delhi, so you have to do your part as well."
"Okay, I understand." Fia said unhappily.
She finally understood what Rawdon was planning.
This is to take advantage of the declining reputation of the Delhi People's Party to allow Kanina and others to infiltrate.
At this moment, the Delhi Civilian Party’s main focus is on rescuing Arvind and maintaining its reputation. Even if they discover what Kanina and the others are doing, they will not be able to react.
In fact, let alone Karnataka and others, other political parties, especially the BJP, will definitely act quickly to win the support of the people of Delhi.
"Aren't you afraid of arousing the resentment of the Delhi Civilian Party? Why are you coming here to grab territory at this time?" Fia asked again.
"What do you mean by grabbing territory? I'm helping them stabilize the situation. Besides, even if we're not here, won't the People's Party and other forces take action?" Roden said, "Of course, I will let Kanina and the others seize the opportunity. We won't act right away and will give the Delhi People's Party some face."
It is only natural that if you don't come to win over voters, other political parties will naturally come over. It would be better to benefit your friends.
"That's true." Feiya said, "Then the truth news will promote Kanina and the others in Delhi."
"It's my duty." Rotten laughed.
Kanina and her friends are very influential in Maharashtra and several surrounding states, but their influence in Delhi is much less and has hardly been reached.
Even if there are fans, they are brought by Bollywood superstars such as Itaz and Lisa. Although the number of fans is not small, for the population of Delhi, the fan support of the two girls alone is obviously not enough.
The People's Party is not yet a national party.
Moreover, they have not yet taken power in any state, which makes it difficult to consider them a strong party.
For Roton, he believes that in the next general election, Kanina and others will definitely gain some power in the local states, but this does not mean that Roton will be satisfied.
Regarding Delhi, Roton still cares a lot.
Roton didn't think that Kanina and others could win the first seat in the Federal Parliament. After all, the People's Party was still very strong.
Roton's expectation for Kanina and the others is to win as many seats as possible, so that the People's Party can no longer underestimate the Civilian Party.
After all, in the next general election, the People’s Party will basically not have a majority of seats, and will need the support of strong allies to form a coalition government.
As the leader of the opposition, the Congress Party will naturally try to win over other political parties as allies in the hope of winning more seats so that it can better confront the BJP.
Then the ADP can strike a balance between the BJP and the Congress.
If the People's Party can take over the power of more states in the future, especially Delhi, the foundation of the People's Party will be almost established.
It is also because of this that Rawdon is salivating over the Delhi People's Party.
The Delhi Aid Party has been operating in Delhi for so many years. Although Arvind will cause the support rate of the Delhi Aid Party to drop this time, as long as Kanina and others take over the Delhi Aid Party, they can at least inherit some of the political legacy of the Delhi Aid Party. No matter how you look at it, it will be much better than them starting from scratch in Delhi.
If we really have to start from scratch, there won’t be enough time, and the general election will begin soon, so taking down the Delhi Awami Party is the best option.
