Chapter 572 The Election is Over
Roton never thought that Kanina and others would be able to govern India. He just wanted to use these seats to gain more benefits for himself and Kanina and others.
After all, the People's Party's single seat was a crushing victory, and we have to acknowledge their excellence in this respect.
Using a minority of seats to gain the greatest benefit is the most realistic option for Kanina and others.
What the People's Party wants is the right to govern. As for this, Roton has no intention of fighting for it and is willing to give it up. Besides, he does not have the conditions to do so at the moment.
Therefore, as long as Laoxian and the others don’t go too far, there is still a basis for cooperation.
Roton wanted the Central Bureau of Investigation, and he wanted to keep this privileged agency firmly in his own hands. This was the only way to have long-term and stable power.
After the election results come out, I believe Laoxian and others will know what to choose.
The best outcome is that everyone gets what they need.
In 2024, India's grand general election will begin on April 19 and end on June 1.
This election will last a long time and involve the largest number of people in the world.
Of course, the amount of money consumed is also staggering, estimated to be more than 14 billion US dollars, even more than the US presidential election.
This is the most expensive election campaign in the history of the world.
Kanina and her friends are very busy, giving speeches and canvassing for votes in the constituency. Of course, Sori, the God of Wealth, will give various benefits to these voters, some in the form of direct cash and some in the form of daily necessities.
Neil led his gang to maintain order at the scene, and of course he also had the responsibility of getting people to vote.
Neil's men got these people to vote for the Populist Party.
The development of the Neil Gang basically followed the development of the Civilian Party.
For example, Kanina and her group are developing in several states adjacent to Mabang, so he will also develop his own power in these places and follow the footsteps of the Civilian Party.
Although there are usually local tyrants in these places and it is difficult for a strong dragon to defeat the local tyrants, Neil is no ordinary person now.
With the financial support of Sori and the fact that they were able to bully the local police by relying on Rotun's status and position, they could easily deal with the local police.
With the cooperation of the police, many things become much easier.
Even if they don't cooperate, the police will give face to Rawdon and turn a blind eye to some of Sori and Neil's things.
This is the deterrent power of Roton.
Considering Rawdon's relationship with the police, everyone will give him some face.
Especially since Rotun is now in charge of the Central Bureau of Investigation, if you offend Rotun, he has the power to directly investigate senior police officers. Who dares to offend Sori and others?
With these, Neil quickly formed his own team in these states and expanded the influence of the gang.
In India, if a political party does not have the cooperation of local gangs, it will be at a disadvantage in winning votes.
After all, he is a local tyrant, so many things can be done with twice the result with half the effort.
Now Neil’s gang has great influence in these states.
They are also trying to get more votes for Kanina and others. Most of their methods are not normal, but include coercion, intimidation and so on.
It is not easy for Kanina and the others to do these things, so it would be most appropriate to leave them to Neil and the others.
At this moment, everyone is using all means, no matter what the means, as long as they can get votes.
That is Neil and his gang. Because of Roton, they were not too cruel to these people.
The benefits that should be given will still be given.
Unlike some other gangs, which took most of the benefits and only gave a small amount to the voters.
There is always the fear of comparison. In this comparison, Neil and the others are definitely the most conscientious.
The reason for this, in addition to Rotten's reasons, is that Neil is much more financially well-off than many gangs because of his relationship with Sori, and he is not willing to take these benefits.
If they ruined Roton's plans, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
Sori's business grew larger and larger, and he became more generous.
He must be doing some things in secret that are difficult to deal with directly, so leave them to Neil.
Sori also gave Neil a lot of funding, making life very easy for Neil's gang.
Economic strength is almost one of the important criteria for a gang's strength.
Only when you have money can you recruit more followers.
In fact, in addition to Sori, Kanina and her team also have other sources of funds.
For example, Reliance Group and Tata Group also support it.
The reason they could provide support was naturally because of their relationship with Rawdon.
There are also various forces, some want to curry favor with Rotten, and some interest groups that are on Rotten's side.
They naturally gave all kinds of support to Kanina and the others.
Supporting them means supporting Roton and supporting yourself.
Everyone can contribute money and effort.
It has to be said that with the joining of Sharif and others, the influence of the People's Party has obviously reached a new level.
While Kanina and her colleagues were giving speeches and canvassing for votes at each stop, other political parties were doing the same.
Lao Xian, La Ge and others all went to some important voting bases, made various promises and performed various shows, all in order to win more support.
A lot of weird things happened during the campaign.
It is common for various problems to occur at election sites, such as theft of ballot boxes, fighting, and arson.
The police are under a lot of pressure at this time. Their own police force is limited, and now they have to send people to maintain order at the scene, which is a huge test for the police.
Also, the temperature in India is very high this month.
The temperature today is much hotter than in previous years, and many people have died of heatstroke due to the election.
Those who died from the heat were not just the poor people, but many government workers as well. This shows how terrifying the temperature was.
On June 1, the 44-day general election came to an end in a tense atmosphere.
The voting is over and the next step is counting the votes.
It will take three days and the final results will be announced on June 4th.
During this period, all the major political parties need to do is wait for the final judgment.
Roton, the ladies and some core members of the Civilian Party gathered together and held a banquet.
Although the final result is still unknown, based on what Roton knows now, Kanina and the others performed very well.
Maybe there won't necessarily be 57 seats, but it will definitely be more than the 20 or 30 seats that I originally expected.
That's enough.
This is a huge victory for them.
Compared with the People's Party and the Congress Party, the pressure on Rodon's side is obviously less.
Because what those two parties want is the power to govern India, and everyone knows how difficult this is.
The BJP is certainly confident, but the Congress is different.
They are well aware that it is impossible for them to get more votes than the People's Party, so if they want to take power, they can only win over more allies.
If there are enough allies, they could theoretically give them more than half of the alliance seats.
In this case, even if the BJP has the most seats in a single party, it will not be able to govern.
But I believe the Congress Party also understands the difficulty involved.
As for Rawdon, he just wanted to win some seats.
He was already very satisfied with the current situation.
Some political parties are celebrating like Roden and his group. Even though no results have come out, they feel good about it.
Of course, there are those who are happy, and there are those who are sad.
Some political parties found that their performance in this election was extremely poor, and their results might not be as good as the last time.
The top brass of the BJP also gathered together.
The old immortal had not yet appeared, and everyone gathered in groups of three or five, with everyone smiling.
Several powerful ministers including Nirmala, Rajnath and Urmit sat together.
"Everyone is very optimistic." Nirmala looked around and heard some of the words of the people around her.
Everyone is optimistic about the result this time, and some people are talking a lot, saying that the number of seats this time should be able to exceed 400.
This is more than the 370 seats target previously announced by the BJP.
"Optimism is a good thing, but blind optimism is not necessarily a good thing." Hermite took a sip of the wine in the glass and sighed.
He and Nirmala don't get along well; there is too much competition between the finance and home ministries.
However, this time it is a general election, which concerns whether the People's Party can continue to govern, so everyone is unanimous on this aspect.
"Yeah, it's not a good thing." Nirmala frowned.
She is in charge of the Law Enforcement Bureau. During this election, she had already instructed Bowede to conduct a detailed investigation into the campaign situation, whether it was her own support rate or that of other opponents.
Judging from the report that Bowede submitted to himself, it is probably different from everyone's initial expectations and is lower than expected.
Moreover, the report submitted by Bowede may have some embellishments, that is to say, he may have reported it in a higher or better way.
This means that the People’s Party’s support rate and vote share this time may be even lower.
It is impossible to achieve 370 seats, and now some people are still saying that they can get more than 400 seats. Isn't it ridiculous?
Although these guys are not as well-informed as I am, it is still inappropriate for them to say such things.
If we raise everyone's expectations and it fails to meet expectations in the future, it will probably hit many people hard.
"There's no need to worry too much. A little more or a little less won't make much difference." Rajnath said with a smile.
He is now the Defense Minister, and the conflict with Nirmala is not so obvious, so his relationship with Nirmala has eased a lot.
“That’s true,” Nirmala said with a smile. “The Congress still has no chance.”
Everyone is very confident about this.
In their view, 370 seats would be difficult to achieve, but there would be no problem in suppressing the Congress Party and getting more than half of the seats.
And there will definitely be more seats than last time, that’s what they think.
If Rotun were here, he would definitely say that the three of them were also too optimistic.
In fact, these cannot be blamed on Nirmala and others. There is no other way. The BJP has expanded too much in recent years. Even if they think it is too much and give themselves a discount, no matter how hard they fight, they have never thought about the situation where they will not have more than half of the seats.
