Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 391: Slapping the Federal Ministry of the Interior

Reversing the CBI's poor image will not only establish Vedras' authority but also take his power to a higher level.

Public opinion is still very important.

In the past, these people, whether from the Central Bureau of Investigation or the police, were all high and mighty and didn't care much about public opinion on individuals.

In their view, what is the use of the voices of these grassroots people?

Even if they have opinions about me, who would care?
These people will continue to do what they should do.

If they care about public opinion about them personally, will it help them get promoted?

It’s difficult, and a lot of the time it’s a thankless job.

After all, there are so many people, and if you can satisfy one or two, it is difficult to satisfy all of them.

It’s better to just go with the flow like everyone else.

What's so special?
It's not easy to be the first to stick your head out.

But now, he found that if the support of these people was guided well, the effect would be amazing.

After all, the base number is too large.

The base is large enough to influence the votes in the general election.

This is even more sensitive for politicians.

As for government officials, if they have the support of a large base of the people, it will obviously be easier for them to get promotions and other benefits.

The reason why Vides made such a change was because he saw this successful example in Rodon.

There is no doubt about Rotun's ability, but almost everything he did was supported by the people.

With a popular base, the influence is huge.

Therefore, Roton received many favorable bonuses in promotion and many opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

For example, Rodon was transferred back from Kupang to quell the riots in New Delhi. Wasn't it because of Rodon's image and influence among the people over the years that he was chosen by the old immortal?

If capable police officers want to be selected among the police, they can still pick out some.

But those people did not have the advantage that Luoton had among the people.

Of course, Vides doesn't want to use public opinion or public opinion to get promoted now.

He has reached the highest point in his career, having already become the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. If he wants to become the Union Home Minister, he can only resign and run for election.

This is obviously unrealistic.

His only goal at the moment was to give the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation more power and remove as many constraints as possible.

Now that he is the director, he always feels unhappy because he has too many restrictions.

If these constraints were removed and my power increased greatly, it would be a promotion to myself in a way.

So if Vides wants to maintain a good reputation, these two cases must be handled well.

Then there must be sufficient time to investigate. If we want to complete the case in three, five or ten days, how is that possible?

If we really follow Rajnath and others' idea and arrest people directly without caring about evidence and convicting them in a short period of time, although the Central Bureau of Investigation has often done this in the past, this time is different and we cannot do that.

The two cases are too serious, involving big figures, and they have attracted too much attention.

If I really do this, I will be under a lot of pressure.

The Congress Party will definitely fight back. After all, there are problems on its side, and the Congress Party can use these as leverage to attack itself.

It can be said that he was taking the blame for Rajnath.

Only a fool would do such a thankless task.

Therefore, since Vides wanted to use these two cases to change the image of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he was willing to abide by laws and regulations during the investigation.

In fact, the circumstances of these two cases are not complicated and the facts are clear.

Perhaps there will be many forces that will hinder this, but Vides believes that as long as he is given some time to deal with it, he will be able to get it done.

After all, he has worked in the Central Bureau of Investigation for so many years and is now the boss here, so he still has such confidence.

It just takes a little more time to organize and collect evidence.

With this decision, Vides didn't want to listen to Rajnath's advice at all. It was definitely impossible to do it in the short term, and he didn't want to do it.

Rajnath's initial urging and current actions have made Vides angry. This is an interference in his exercise of power as director.

If anyone wants to reach out his hand here, Vides will pick up the big knife without hesitation and cut it off.

Not even the Federal Minister of the Interior.

……

In the New Delhi Police Department, Rawdon was looking at the newspapers just delivered by his men in his office.

Looking at some of the reports above, his brows furrowed slightly.

What Roton's eyes caught was an interview with CBI Director Vides.

Yesterday, when Vides was interviewed by reporters, he was asked about the progress of the two major cases, the telecommunications case and the coal mine gate case.

Vides said that these two cases will take time, and the Central Bureau of Investigation will not release too many investigation details without two or three months.

This answer contradicts the statement made by the Federal Ministry of the Interior a few days ago.

The Federal Ministry of the Interior said in a statement a few days ago that the results of these two cases will be announced to the public soon. This will take only about ten days.

In fact, a few days ago, Luo Dun was also a little surprised after seeing the news from the Ministry of the Interior. How could such a big case be solved in such a short time?

After all, Roton had handled many major cases and knew the situation.

These two cases, in particular, are not comparable to other major cases.

In the past, one major case would consume countless efforts. With these two major cases together, it is impossible to produce some results within the time limit of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

If there really is, then the result is likely to be problematic.

Now, Vides' interview is actually a response to the report of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

This completely refutes the previous statement of the Federal Ministry of the Interior on the time.

Roton picked up the phone on the desk and pressed a few number keys, but after pressing a few, Roton hung up the phone again.

He wanted to call Vides to ask about the situation.

But he found that he didn't seem to have much reason to ask these questions.

Although he holds the title of Special Investigation Commissioner of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he is not considered to be from that side.

You can only intervene if you receive orders and are assigned tasks.

Generally speaking, if we intervene, it is only limited to the cases we are responsible for, and it is not easy to ask too much about other matters.

Also, although he had a good relationship with Vides, this matter obviously involved some power issues of Vides as the director of the CBI, and Roton felt that it would be inappropriate for him to get involved rashly.

After all, things related to power are still very sensitive. Even friends need a certain sense of boundaries so that they can better maintain friendships.

Roton felt that there were some conflicts between Vides and the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which was actually not a good sign.

In theory, the Central Bureau of Investigation still comes under the jurisdiction of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

However, Roton believed that Vides was not a reckless person, otherwise he would not have become the director.

Since he did this, he must have his reasons.

Speaking of which, this kind of game between superiors and subordinates exists everywhere.

From the director and deputy director of a department to the ministries and specific institutions under them.

For example, the relationship game between the Federal Ministry of Home Affairs and the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the relationship between the State Police Directorates, etc.

Especially since these ministers are elected by the people, while the heads of the specific executive departments below are civil servants, it is normal for conflicts to exist between the two.

Many times, the heads of these executive departments may not buy into the opinions of these elected ministers.

The reason is very simple, that is, no one knows when these ministers will be dismissed. The good ones can serve for several terms, while the bad ones cannot even serve for one term.

Some may even be removed after just a few months.

Therefore, they are generally not worthy of the flattery of the national civil servants below. At most, they can be given a certain respect and maintain normal relations.

After all, for these civil servants, they don’t care who the minister is, as their positions are relatively stable anyway.

As long as it's not too excessive, they have to be used no matter which party comes to power.

In Roton's opinion, the Federal Ministry of the Interior was obviously a bit impulsive and too anxious this time.

How can such a major case be handled so carelessly?
What can you do with so little time?
Perhaps these decisions of the Federal Ministry of the Interior made Vides not very satisfied.

Because this statement was made by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, but in the minds of the people, it is equivalent to the meaning of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

After all, the investigation of the case is the responsibility of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

So in Vides's opinion, the Ministry of the Interior had bypassed him as the director and announced it directly to the public.

Where does this behavior put him as the director?
It was clearly a challenge to Vides' authority.

Judging from Vides' response, he obviously did not want to take the blame and made some clarifications.

But the real subtext is that Vides is dissatisfied with the Ministry of the Interior and is extremely angry.

If he wasn't too angry, Vides could have negotiated with the Federal Ministry of the Interior privately and there was no need to report the matter to the news media.

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the Federal Ministry of the Interior?
Roton could understand some of the ideas of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, as they were speaking on behalf of the People's Party.

Of course, suppressing the Congress Party is the consensus on the BJP side.

These two cases are extremely beneficial to the BJP. They are powerful weapons to strike against the Congress Party and must be used well.

But this is too hasty.

In his heart, Rotten did not quite agree with this, and he definitely stood on the side of Vides.

This is not only because he has a good relationship with Vides, but also because Rotun himself is a civil servant.

The police system is also under the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

If the Ministry of Home Affairs can do this to the Central Bureau of Investigation today, it can target the police system tomorrow.

Speaking of which, the police system is not as strong as the Central Bureau of Investigation. Wouldn't it be easier for the Ministry of Home Affairs to control it?
Therefore, Roton knew very well that Vides's approach would definitely gain support from many people, especially the police.

They don't want to see a strong Ministry of the Interior.

Everyone can nominally obey the Federal Ministry of the Interior, but they still want greater autonomy.

Who would be willing to put shackles on their power?

"Let's wait and see." Rotun thought to himself that he still needed to see how the situation developed.

I don’t know whether the Federal Ministry of the Interior will respond to Vides’ words.
