Chapter 568 The Situation is Pressing
These retired old guys from the Central Bureau of Investigation are quite capable and have their own networks and circles.
If we get them to join, we can use their influence to increase a lot of votes.
Of course, there are definitely some drawbacks.
For example, will these guys take advantage of their seniority to demand power in the People's Party?
However, Roton felt that these were still controllable.
And the most important thing right now is to use the power of these people as much as possible to win more seats in the Federal Parliament. This is the most critical thing at the moment.
Some other hidden dangers can be solved later.
As long as he is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, these old guys will not act rashly.
As long as the power they ask for is within a reasonable range, it's not a big problem.
In any case, the Civilian Party also needs their strength now.
Besides, Kanina and the others still have strong control over the Civilian Party, and they won’t turn things around just because a few old guys come in.
"In a few days, I will gather everyone to announce our support for the Civilian Party. You should make preparations on the Civilian Party side first," Sharif said.
After leaving Sharif, Rawdon returned home and called Kanina.
Rawdon told her about the topics discussed at Sharif's home.
"Come to New Delhi in two days," Rawdon said on the phone, "and then you will meet with those old guys on behalf of the People's Party."
Although everyone knows that Kanina is his woman, Kanina and the others are still in charge of some specific matters, so it is right to let her come.
When Sharif gathered everyone together, it was also a good opportunity for Kanina to take this opportunity to get to know these old guys.
After all, Kanina will still need to deal with them in the future.
It is impossible for Roton to do all these things himself.
Three days later, Rawdon and Kanina arrived at Sharif's residence.
Kanina dressed up specially because this time she was not going to have a gathering with female relatives but to discuss serious business, so she needed to pay special attention to her dress.
There are already quite a few veterans from the Central Bureau of Investigation here.
When Rotten came in, they immediately saw Kanina beside Rotten.
As for Kanina, even though these old guys have retired for a long time, many people still know Kanina.
Because Karnina and other women are definitely among the few famous women in India, especially those who are active in politics.
In addition, the truth news would give the Civilian Party various exposures from time to time, so Kanina and other women appeared in the news very frequently.
Of course, for most of us, this was the first time we actually saw the real person.
After all, they are retired old people, and Kanina usually doesn't have any interaction with them.
"You kid~~" Vides was naturally present as well. When he saw Rotten bringing Kanina over, he was a little surprised.
You know, powerful men like them, which one doesn't have women outside?
And it won’t be a woman.
However, it is rare for someone like Luoton to openly bring his lover from outside to participate in such an important party.
Of course, Vides only said this, and Kanina’s identity is not simple.
As the current leader of the Civilian Party, Vides certainly knew the purpose of her coming here.
Sharif had already discussed some of today's topics with them privately.
Besides, Wides also knew that these women of Rotten were really harmonious.
Even Fia accepted these women.
This made Vides admire Rodon even more.
You have to know that women like Kanina are not simple.
But they were still willing to be Rawdon's lovers. It had to be said that he admired Rawdon's ways with women.
He even talked to Rawdon about women.
After the conversation, he realized that he and his people would definitely not be able to do what Roton did.
Rawdon gave these women so much.
For example, Kanina and others are now all famous figures, and they have power whenever they want.
If it were them, they would just treat women as playthings, how could they let them show themselves in public?
Not to mention letting these women run such a big business.
I'm afraid that such a woman is not something that an ordinary man can control.
So, as for the relationship between Rawdon and these women, they couldn't imitate it.
"I believe you all have some idea of what's going on when we called everyone here this time. Let me introduce you to Ms. Kanina first. I believe you are all familiar with her." Sharif introduced Kanina after everyone arrived, and then continued without beating around the bush, "The situation in the next election is a bit grim."
"What does the Congress Party say?" someone asked.
"They are taking action, but the Congress Party's reputation has been too bad in recent years. It is very difficult to make any progress for them. We need to take action," Sharif said.
This made everyone silent for a moment.
To be honest, they didn't want to take action until the very end.
Once this action is taken, it means that the relationship with the People's Party will become even worse.
If they are still unable to stop the People's Party after taking action, then they will become a thorn in the People's Party's side.
I'm afraid the days ahead will be difficult.
But if nothing is done now, it will be difficult for the Congress Party and other opposition parties to compete with the BJP.
If the People's Party wins again, even if Rotun is in the Central Bureau of Investigation, it is unlikely that the position of director will fall to Rotun.
Once Roton loses control of the CBI, those who are related to the CBI will not have an easy time in the future either.
For them, the best way is to let the opposition such as the Congress Party take the lead, and they can provide some support secretly.
Now it seems that this situation no longer allows it.
The implicit support is clearly not enough.
"Many old guys who have retired from the army are now ready to join political parties, and most of them are on the side of the People's Party," Sharif added.
"What?" Everyone present looked changed.
Sharif had not mentioned this matter to them privately before.
At that time, I just said that I was ready to support the Civilian Party.
No wonder some of you here are surprised.
Generally speaking, retired senior military officers will not participate in politics.
Because the military has its own independence, it can maintain this characteristic only by not participating in political campaigns.
Of course, there is no law in India that prohibits retired military personnel from participating in elections.
It was a tacit understanding before.
And now, this tacit understanding has been broken.
All this is the result of the BJP's attempt to win over the military.
India's army and government are relatively antagonistic.
The military is unwilling to be conquered and bound, and is generally independent of the government, forming its own military interest groups.
For example, those from military families.
Especially the Sikhs, there are many high-ranking officials in the Indian army.
India's federal home minister controls the police system, the Central Bureau of Investigation, and paramilitary forces such as the Border Police. It can be said that he has enormous power.
The reason why it has such great power is that the government wants to check and balance the military.
The Indian government is certainly not at ease as the military is not under its control and needs to build up its own military power.
As the BJP becomes increasingly powerful, some of the independence of the Indian military is gradually being affected.
Coupled with the goodwill gesture from the People's Party, some retired military personnel have joined the People's Party.
Although the Indian military has not completely sided with the BJP, the trend is still very alarming.
Especially for opposition parties like the Congress, this is horrifying.
Not to mention that it is difficult for them to defeat the BJP now, even if they really defeat the BJP, they will be in big trouble if the BJP colludes with the military.
"Rotten, do you know about this?" Someone turned to Rotten and asked.
After all, Roden is now in charge of the Central Bureau of Investigation. When it comes to being well-informed, he is definitely better informed than most people here.
"That's true," Rawdon said. "The People's Party has spent a lot of time and effort on this matter."
Of course, Rawdon knew about this; he had discussed it with Sharif last time.
"It's not good."
The faces of everyone present became solemn.
They didn't expect that the People's Party was actually targeting the army.
And it also allowed them to pry open a corner of the army.
If the People's Party continues to be allowed to step down, the gap will probably get bigger and bigger.
Once the army is on the side of the People's Party, how can other political parties fight them? "The situation is really pressing, Sharif, is it still useful for us to support the People's Party?" someone asked.
Although Sharif talked to them about supporting the People's Party, they still felt a little uneasy when they heard that most of the retired military guys supported the People's Party.
"Of course it is useful. Today I will make it clear to everyone that our goal is to allow the People's Party to win more seats in the federal parliament." Sharif said, "We will continue to support the Congress Party, but the support will be reduced. The People's Party will be our core. This time it is not only about allowing the People's Party to get more seats in the federal parliament, but also to win as many state governments as possible..."
Sharif told him most of what he had discussed with Rawdon that night, but he kept some things to himself.
That is, the purpose this time is to target the People's Party and not allow it to win more than half of the seats in the federal parliament.
He and Roden felt that this possibility was very high, but if they said so now, someone might leak it out.
By then, the People's Party might become more wary, which would be bad.
In short, what Sharif is advocating this time is support for the Civilian Party, because Kanina and others in the Civilian Party are Rotun's women, and given the relationship between Rotun and them, they are their own people.
Supporting the Civilian Party is equivalent to supporting yourself.
This is clearly a better option than supporting the Congress Party.
The performance of the Congress Party in recent years has been really unsatisfactory and has been a complete mess.
It's really unreassuring.
On the other hand, the Civilian Party felt more at ease with Roton around.
