Chapter 571 Half of the seats in four states
The situation of the Congress Party and other opposition parties is still very difficult.
They were subject to various investigations by the law enforcement agencies, which caused many leaders to panic.
Relying on his power, Bowede used chicken feathers as a token of authority to conduct various investigations and arrest the leaders of the opposition.
Especially with the election approaching, Bowede's various law enforcement efforts have obviously increased several times compared to before, causing panic in the political arena.
If the leaders of the opposition do not surrender, they will be targeted by Bowede and cause all kinds of trouble.
Even if the person is not arrested, it is enough to make you unable to sleep well or eat well.
All kinds of torture and torment, this is a double torture of psychological and physical.
Ever since Arvind, the incumbent chief minister, was arrested, Purvedee basically had nothing to worry about and devoted himself to working for the BJP.
If these leaders give in, they can only be pardoned by turning to the People's Party.
In response to such incidents, the media controlled by the Congress Party and others have made various revelations and accusations.
Although the People's Party responded, they never admitted that this was political persecution, and only said that everything was in accordance with procedures.
The law enforcement by the Law Enforcement Bureau is in compliance with laws and regulations.
Come to think of it, it's what those politicians deserve.
Because none of these politicians are clean.
As long as the law enforcement agency wants to deal with you, the evidence is almost always available and they can grab a lot of it.
In terms of procedure, it is definitely compliant.
The law enforcement agency investigated the financial problems of these people and found countless cases. It didn't take much effort to arrest these people.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has done a lot of work in preparation for the upcoming election. Under Rotten's orders, Rotten was able to learn a lot about the secrets of these political parties.
On the surface, the People's Party certainly has an absolute advantage.
These can be seen from the various media hype. Most of the news is about the People's Party, especially some speeches by senior officials such as Lao Xian, attendance at various activities, etc.
These news frequently appear in major news media, constantly increasing Laoxian's exposure in order to win more voters.
However, Roton has learned from the gathered information that the Congress Party and other opposition parties have done a lot of things in private.
They had various exchanges with some interest groups in various states.
With so many private communications, it is impossible to say that no agreement was reached.
This is a signal to join forces.
It's not just Rodon, there are too many people who don't want the People's Party to continue to grow in power.
If things continue like this, life will probably become even more difficult for opposition parties like the Congress Party and local interest groups in various states.
The cake is only this big. If the People's Party wants to continue cutting the cake, they can only cut it from them, which they cannot tolerate.
For their own interests, people who may have been enemies can unite.
Because at this moment, everyone has common interests and common enemies.
The People's Party continued to sing and dance.
In their view, their advantage is too great and the opposition cannot cause any trouble at all.
Even if some senior executives such as Laoxian and Nirmala are aware of the inappropriateness of this, it is difficult to change the current situation all at once.
Moreover, with the election approaching, if we try to rectify some internal issues at this time, wouldn't it be a mess? That would give the Congress Party an opportunity.
At this time, no matter how big the problem is, it can only be suppressed temporarily. After the dust settles, we can consider rectifying some problems within the People’s Party.
The old immortal continued his process of deification.
At the same time, they continue to use Hinduism as a weapon to gain more support from Hindus by provoking religious confrontation.
In Roton's opinion, it is because the opposition parties such as the Congress Party are too weak, otherwise how could the BJP continue to govern in its current state?
The People's Party has basically achieved no results in its rule over the years.
The old man was ambitious and introduced many policies, but unfortunately, most of them failed or came to nothing in the end.
Most of the money went into the hands of members of the People's Party and some officials, leaving very little for actual projects.
The better one is to give you an empty frame.
Those of a serious nature will just be gone, and no one will investigate anyway.
Even if we investigate, they are all in the same boat, what can we find? Of course, the People's Party still has a deep foundation in the past two terms. Even with all this trouble, the support rate of a single party is still far ahead of others, but it just doesn't have more than half.
Roden was very happy to see this.
A too strong BJP is not in his interest.
In particular, we must not allow Nirmala and his group to dominate the market.
A year has passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is 2024, the election year, during which everyone is building momentum for themselves.
At this time, no government affairs are important anymore, everything revolves around the election.
As for economic development, reform or other government affairs, we can only wait and see later.
After all, for Indian politicians, if they lose, it will not be their turn to govern, so how can they talk about economic development and reform?
As a result, during this period, the efficiency of various government affairs declined significantly, which further fueled the already inefficient situation.
Everyone's mind is on the election.
This is a carnival feast that almost everyone can participate in.
Especially for some of the poor people at the bottom of society, it is a rare opportunity to get some benefits from politicians, such as voting for a few rupees or getting some rice, flour, bowls and other daily necessities.
To them, no matter which politician comes to power, it is all about corruption.
So, we will invest in whoever gives us more money.
However, many of these benefits have to go through exploitation by local gangs.
Because many politicians will look for influential local gangs and local bosses and ask them to help persuade people to vote.
In any case, the poor at the bottom have enjoyed some benefits.
As for who will be elected in the future, they don't care at all.
The campaign and canvassing for the election is becoming more intense as time approaches.
When Lao Xian was asked about matters related to the general election in several television interviews, he said that the People's Party's goal this time was to win 370 seats, which was an extremely exaggerated number.
There are a total of 545 seats in the Indian federal parliament.
The BJP is convinced of this number, and many people are infected by their optimism and feel that their goal of winning 370 seats is indeed achievable.
All this has a lot to do with the fact that the People's Party has won more than half of the seats for two consecutive terms.
The second parliament had a much larger number of members than the first, so wouldn't it be natural for the third to have more than the second? The People's Party's revelry put enormous pressure on the opposition.
They have too great an advantage in public opinion.
Even though they have a lot of negative information, these so-called negative information were drowned out in an instant under this fierce publicity. At this time, no one will pay too much attention to them and they are not worth mentioning at all.
Rodon has been in Mumbai most of the time recently, and he is in charge personally to support Kanina and the others.
Kanina and her team had already made a plan, focusing on Maharashtra and supplemented by the three neighboring states of Maharashtra to launch the campaign.
The three states are Karnataka, Telangana and Chhattisgarh.
Out of the total 545 seats, Maharashtra has 48 seats, Karnataka has 28 seats, Tunku has 17 seats and Chetanakhvi has 11 seats.
Chhattisgarh is a young state in India. It was separated from Madhya Pradesh and became an independent state in 2000.
It was a great feat for the Popular Party to campaign in four states simultaneously.
Think about the Delhi Aidilfitri Party over the years. It only recently expanded beyond the Delhi area and made some gains in Punjab, but has basically no influence in other places.
And Kanina and her colleagues are now making efforts in four states at the same time, which is still very exaggerated for a political party that has only been established for more than ten years.
Kanina and her friends are still very ambitious. They told Roden that their goal in this election is to win half of the seats in the four states, which is 57 seats.
57 seats. After hearing this, Luoton was also very surprised.
In his mind, if Kanina and her team set their sights on 20 to 30 seats, it would be enough to squeeze into the top five political parties in India.
In Roton's memory, if history has not changed, in the 2024 general election, the fifth place would be about 22 seats, and many of the parties behind it would basically be in single digits.
Those who can get double-digit seats are almost all old-established political parties.
These parties are either national or have an absolute advantage in a state, winning almost all the seats in the state to have double-digit seats.
If there really were 57, it would almost be the third largest party after the Congress.
Of course, this number actually includes Delhi.
However, Delhi is not the main battlefield for Kanina and her team.
So they thought they would take as much as they could in Delhi, just try their best and don't force it.
Because the BJP had a huge advantage in Delhi during the federal central parliamentary election, Kanina and her colleagues in Delhi are mainly focused on the future Delhi local council elections.
That is to say, in the battle for power in Delhi, Karnina and others will really make an effort.
If Kanina and her team really want to win 57 seats, Roton will definitely support them.
Even if they didn't achieve it later, based on their determination, they were sure to win 20 to 30 seats, which had already met Roton's expectations.
As far as I can remember, the BJP won only 240 seats in this election, 63 fewer than the previous one.
If they want a majority of seats, they can only unite with other allies.
If Kanina and the others had twenty or thirty seats, they would be an existence that Laoxian and the others could not ignore at all.
Later, the BJP won a total of 293 seats, while the opposition led by the Congress won 234 seats. Roton believed that with the dark horse Kanina and her team, history would change a lot this time. The BJP might lose more than 63 seats, so the position of Kanina and her team became very critical.
Their dozens of seats are enough to influence which party is in power.
