Chapter 576: I'm sorry for not being able to make it
"I know we have an advantage. I have confidence in you in the future local elections in Maharashtra. You should be able to win the most seats for a single party, but you can't be careless." Feiya said, "After all, this place is dominated by old political parties such as the Shiv Sena, the BJP and the Congress. We may not be able to win enough seats, right? If the seats are not enough, the BJP will have to support us, and the Chief Minister must be ours."
A single majority of seats does not necessarily guarantee the party’s success in taking power; it also depends on the number of seats.
Just like this time, although the People's Party has the largest number of seats, it does not have more than half of the seats and does not meet the conditions for direct governance, so it needs to unite with some other allies.
"Sister is right. We still can't be careless." Kanina said, "If we count the seats of the People's Party, the position of Chief Minister of Maharashtra will be truly stable in the future."
"In that case, the other states will do the same. If our seats are enough to take over the government, that would be the best. If not, we can use the seats of the BJP to support us. We want the power of several states, and in exchange, we can support the BJP to continue to govern," said Roden.
The next plan is almost set.
They are just waiting for people from the People's Party to come.
However, to the surprise of Roton and his colleagues, the Congress Party was even faster than the BJP.
This time it was Rahul who led the team himself, as he was the prince of the Congress Party and held an extraordinary status.
In Rawdon's opinion, his political talent was mediocre, even inferior to that of his sister.
But he is a man, and that is his advantage.
Therefore, he has to inherit the glory of the Gandhi family.
No matter how mediocre he is, the Congress Party will invest almost all its resources in him, and he will be able to achieve considerable success.
Even if you are not capable enough, you can still achieve some results if you have enough capable people to assist you.
The Congress Party's huge increase in seats this time can be said to have come at a huge cost.
Of course, Luoton knew better than anyone that the People’s Party’s rule over the years had made many people dissatisfied.
In the previous two general elections, the Congress Party did not even have 55 seats and could not gain the power of the opposition leader.
That's because the Congress Party did too many stupid things during its time in power, and everyone remembers them vividly.
But after the two terms of the BJP, what the Congress Party did almost ten years ago has been slowly forgotten as time goes by.
Instead, it is the mess caused by the People's Party. After all, they are the most recent in recent years and everyone remembers them clearly.
Therefore, the negative impact of the Congress Party has been much lessened.
In addition, they spared no effort and made various efforts, which led to a significant increase in seats.
"Mr. Singer, why are you here?" Rawdon asked in surprise.
He thought it was just Rahul coming but when he actually saw him, he found that Manmohan Singh was also there.
The former prime minister is very old, he is 92 years old this year.
Roton remembered that the end of this year would be his deadline.
Manmohan has basically not appeared in public in recent years, after all, he is old.
Unexpectedly, he came with Rahul this time.
Rawdon quickly understood what the Congress Party was thinking.
I have been able to rise from the bottom of poverty to where I am today. To be honest, Manmohan can be considered as one of my benefactors.
They are now inviting Manmohan to come out and they want to use this relationship to win their support.
Unfortunately, it is unrealistic for me to support the Congress Party.
The gap in seats is really too big.
I won't do such a thankless task.
Roton still showed respect to the old man.
Manmohan also admires Rodon.
Although everything that Roton has now has something to do with him, in the end it is still Roton's own ability.
Manmohan didn't want to come at first, but he couldn't let go of the Congress party's affairs, and Rahul's mother's request, so he had no choice but to come.
As for winning over Rodun and gaining the support of the People's Party, Manmohan did not think that he could succeed on his own.
This matter is of great importance.
Although the BJP did not win more than half of the seats this time, the Congress Party saw hope of becoming the ruling party.
Many people believe that as long as the People's Party is brought over, they can compete with the People's Party and may be able to form a coalition government.
But these are just wishful thinking on the part of the Congress Party.
Of course, even if Manmohan thought so, he still wanted to fight for it.
Even if it is impossible to pull Rodon over, at least we can try to make Rodon remain neutral. Even if the Civilian Party is on the side of the People's Party, we need to make Rodon less hostile towards the Congress Party.
Let’s not talk about the Civilian Party for now, Rawdon’s position as the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation is definitely secure.
This position is still very important.
The People's Party failed to win a majority of seats this time, and is destined to be unable to suppress Director Roton.
Everyone has seen the arrogance and domineering behavior of the Law Enforcement Bureau over the years.
It would be lucky for the opposition if the Central Bureau of Investigation could maintain a certain degree of neutrality.
In fact, the Central Bureau of Investigation is indeed doing this, and is basically competing with the Enforcement Bureau.
Especially after Rodon took over from Vides, it became basically difficult for the Enforcement Agency to target the Central Bureau of Investigation.
If the Central Bureau of Investigation had not been incorporated into the BJP, life would have been even more difficult for the Congress Party and other opposition parties.
The two sides talked for several hours before Rahul and his party left.
When Rahul returned home, he was furious: "Roden is so arrogant. He doesn't give us any face. He also put forward so many conditions and hoped that we would support the People's Party in ruling Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, etc. in the future..."
"Shut up," Sonia scolded Rahul, and then asked Manmohan, "Mr. Singh, what's the situation?"
Seeing his mother's unhappy expression, Rahul said nothing more.
Manmohan sighed inwardly.
When he was discussing with Rodon just now, he had seen Rahul's performance.
Some of Rahul's remarks were so inappropriate.
It can be said that Rahul is still putting on airs.
You know, this time they went to win over Rodon, and Rahul failed to take a humble approach. How could this satisfy people?
Besides, it is clear that Rodon has no intention of forming an alliance with the Congress Party, and Rahul's attitude will definitely make Rodon unhappy.
However, Rotten did not show much emotion on his face and was still very enthusiastic when facing him.
In Manmohan's opinion, although Rahul is older than Rodon, he is not as sophisticated as Rodon.
Unfortunately, Sonya only has this one son, so she can only support him to take the throne.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, Rowden didn't agree," Manmohan replied.
"That's to be expected," Sonya sighed.
The possibility of the Civilian Party joining her side was very small, and she was mentally prepared.
"But there are still some loopholes on Rodon's side," said Manmohan.
"What do you mean?" Sonya asked, her face changing.
As for the matter of bringing in the People's Party, everyone here is actually not optimistic.
As long as Roton is not a fool, he will know how to choose and will definitely choose the People's Party.
In other words, the Congress Party doesn't stand much chance.
But the lack of opportunity doesn’t mean you don’t have to do anything.
They still need to fight for it as much as possible.
"We need some cooperation for the position of CBI director. It is beneficial for us to have Rodon in the CBI," said Manmohan.
"That guy asked us to agree to let him be the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, but he didn't make any contribution at all. He is simply shameless. We shouldn't have agreed to him so quickly. Then he would have to beg us." Rahul said dissatisfiedly.
The appointment of the Central Bureau of Investigation requires an announcement by the President.
And the President needs to consult the leader of the opposition, which is now the Congress party.
In other words, if the Congress Party objects, then this appointment may be shelved.
"Do you think that even if we oppose his appointment, Rotten will not be able to control the Central Bureau of Investigation? Can we use this as a threat to threaten Rotten?" Sonia said with a gloomy face.
She was so disappointed in her son that he actually said such nonsense.
Fortunately it happened in private. If outsiders knew about it, who knows what kind of rumors would be spread.
"As long as we object, Roden won't be able to be the director." Rahul insisted on his opinion, "We can use it as a negotiation condition."
When negotiating with Rodon, Manmohan did not give himself much opportunity to speak.
This was decided by her mother. Although she had gone there, the details still had to be decided by Manmohan. He was just an observer.
Therefore, he was unable to vent a lot of his dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, Manmohan was too weak in the face of Rodan.
It can be said that Roton only made the request, and he agreed to all of them.
But Roton did not give him any precise promises.
This made him very unhappy.
Isn't it just the Congress Party that is paying, while Rawdon has gained huge benefits without paying anything? He feels that he can be tougher on his side.
After all, as the director, Roton has the final say.
"Use your brain and think about it carefully!" Sonia was really disappointed. Fortunately, she asked Manmohan to come out, otherwise, if the others and her son went there, they would definitely offend Rodon this time.
Still threatening Roton? At this time, it would be good if Roton didn't cause trouble for him.
Perhaps the increase in seats this time made his son a little inflated again.
Fortunately, Manmohan went with them. Manmohan was a veteran of the Congress Party, and Sonia knew that even if her son was dissatisfied, he would not dare to say much.
If it were anyone else, they would not be able to control their son at all. Moreover, even if they said anything, their son probably wouldn't listen. Who knows if he would cause any big trouble.
It can be said that this time the Civilian Party came as a dark horse and shocked everyone.
The women of the Civilian Party all listen to Rotun. Rotun's attitude is too important and this matter cannot be taken lightly at all.
