Some have made an ominous projection after hearing Bhumjaithai Party secretary-general Chaichanok Chidchob say in parliament that the coalition government is living on borrowed time.
The Pheu Thai Party, the party’s main coalition partner, and Bhumjaithai can’t cover their tense connection, which has occasionally manifested itself. In life sessions on different television platforms, the most recent example was audible and audible.
In a recent House conference to debate serious goals, the general quiet was broken by Mr Chaichanok, who took his brother Members off guard.
He took to the ground and pleaded with the House to make a movement on a comprehensive national plan to stop natural tragedies in the midst of the Bangkok earthquake and to develop an immediate plan to stem the effects of Washington’s price increases.
Mr. Chaichanok attributed Paetongtarn Shinawatra to having shown incredible leadership and commitment to issues relating to public health. The Buri Ram MP pledged to do everything in his strength to march behind the elite. His words, aside from a piercing bend toward the end of his speech, which threatens to have a profound social impact on the state, had been tunes to the perfect leader’s ears.
I declare before the legislature that I, Chaichanok Chidchob, the eldest child of Newin and Karuna Chidchob, does not support the casino-entertainment complex act, or any other similar costs that may be introduced by Bhumjaithai, in the interests of the nation.
” I will not grant my due consideration. There are excellent problems that are a lot more serious than what I have reviewed, according to Mr. Chaichanok, who deserves our attention.
His declaration was seen as an assault on the already fragile coalition unity, even though Bhumjathai leader Anutin Charnvirakul after labeled it as his private stance.
Pheu Thai greats refused to allow Bhumjaithai off the hook and called on the group to retreat from the government.
An observer claimed the irony was that these ruling party leaders vented their anger despite knowing that Bhumjaithai’s departure had cost the alliance 70 chairs and put it on thin ice.
The numbers may have had enough of Bhumjaithai’s constant move against their group.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, questioned Bhumjaithai’s chain of command under Mr Anutin, who also serves as the internal secretary.
Is the group headed by Mr. Anutin or Mr. Chaichanok? ” the older Pheu Thai find inquired.
” We’ve now had discussions between partnership officials, with Mr Anutin agreeing on the course. So who should I trust right then, then? Mr. Anutin or Mr. Chaichanok?
Pheu Thai record MP Adisorn Piengkes slammed Mr Chaichanok for talking” crap” for over 30 days, ignoring the issue at hands– the US levies on Thai imports.
” Maybe they should step down if Bhumjaithai cannot coincide with the government’s way. It’s straightforward. Don’t be in the authorities merely to hinder improvement,” said Mr Adisorn.
He even criticized Mr. Chaichanok for using his genealogy as a way to advance his place, being the son of Bhumjaithai’s religious leader Newin Chidchob.
The observer noted that this was the first time that Mr. Phumtham and Mr. Adisorn, both well-known and former Pheu Thai figures, had orally fought with Bhumjaithai.
One powerful reason they were seeing dark has to do with Mr Chaichanok being Bhumjaithai’s secretary-general. The secretary-general is the party’s leading professional, after the president, who has the authority to address matters on behalf of the party.
Both the rulers of Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai have made an effort to mend things at the same time.
Mr Anutin and Ms Paetongtarn, who leads Pheu Thai, held a joint press conference to convince the public their empire was not about to collapse, as frequently speculated.
He added that he had apologized to Ms. Paetongtarn for the speech, which may have caused a mistake, and that Mr. Chaichanok’s notes were his own personal opinions and not the group’s established position.
When asked if Bhumjaithai would allow its MPs to cast a completely ballot on the act, Mr. Anutin responded,” No. We did support the government.”
He added that Mr. Chaichanok will have to cast a ballot alongside the group.
Following his controversial statement, Mr. Anutin claimed that Mr. Chaichanok should be given a few days ‘ sleep because he was under pressure.
Ms Paetongtarn suggested she and her party would not see Mr Chaichanok’s speech as an matter, saying she retains a close connection with him. The top claimed that Mr. Chaichanok’s confusion may have been his cause of his disapproval.
The observer claimed that Mr. Anutin may become excessive in claiming that Mr. Chaichanok’s comments about casinos were his own opinion. This attitude could also be shared by different Bhumjaithai superstars.
Chada Thaiset, a Uthai Thani MP, claimed the draft bill for the casino-entertainment advanced was being rushed and poorly thought through despite his propensity for betting and his objections to legalizing casinos.
The issue that young people and young people have with online gambling is a myriad of issues that need to be resolved before games are made legal, he said.
He furthermore called for a vote to decide on for a deeply divisive and controversial issue.
It’s not as though one you play casino games randomly. That is not how it works. It needs considerable reports and analyses to get conducted.
” Good foundations is required.” He claimed that we are moving too quickly.
Before Mr Chada spoke his head, Somsak Prissananantakul, the father of assistant House speaker Paradorn Prissananantakul and Bhumjaithai executive Korrawee Prissananantakul, appealed to coalition party leaders to move out of the government after former premier Thaksin Shinawatra apparently issued a veiled threat that coalition partners may be dumped if they disagreed with the casino-entertainment difficult bill.
Shuffling the middle of the pack
A cabinet reshuffle is anticipated to occur this month, although changes will likely be limited to the ruling Pheu Thai Party.
Thaksin: Under legal pressure
The party’s alleged de facto leader, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, sent the strongest signal yet despite repeated denials from senior government officials.
According to Thaksin, who was quoted last weekend, any cabinet changes would involve shifting positions rather than altering the coalition party lineup.
His comments were in response to persistent speculation about a reshuffle amid signs of growing tension between the ruling party and its coalition partner, Bhumjaithai.
According to some experts, a small reshuffle in the works was sparked by public dissatisfaction with some underperforming ministers, as revealed in a recent Nida Poll survey. Many people expected the replacements of the agriculture and cooperatives minister and the commerce minister.
Among the Pheu Thai ministers predicted to lose their jobs are Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan, Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samrejvanich and Deputy Finance Minister Paopoom Rojanasakul.
Phumtham Wechayachai’s appointment as the deputy prime minister will likely be replaced by his position as defense minister. He will likely take over the position he previously held in the Srettha Thavisin administration at the Commerce Ministry.
Sutin Klungsang is speculated to make a return to the Defence Ministry, while list MP Anusorn Iamsa-ard is likely to replace Prime Minister’s Office Minister Jiraporn Sindhuprai, who could replace Mr Paopoom.
Wisut Chainaroon, a member of the Pheu Thai list, is expected to take the place of Ms. Theerarat, and rumors also point to the resignation of Sorawong Thienthong, the minister of tourism and sports, from the new lineup.
Pheu Thai’s concerns over the passage of crucial pieces of legislation, including the casino-entertainment complex bill, require coalition support, according to observers, making Bhumjaithai, the second-largest party in the government, off-limits in the much-anticipated reshuffle.
While it is believed there have been some negotiations between Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai, there is uncertainty over whether Bhumjaithai might “betray” Pheu Thai or undermine its efforts to push ahead with the casino policy, according to Olarn Thinbangtieo, a political science lecturer at Burapha University.
The two parties have been roiling over each other.
In the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) investigation into dozens of senators with close ties to Bhumjaithai over alleged vote fixing in the Senate election of last year, the ruling party is alleged to be pulling strings.
The DSI has decided to investigate many of them for alleged money laundering.
Anutin Charnvirakul, the leader of Bhumjaithai, is regarded as having sent a clear message that his party supports the conservative camp, Mr. Olarn said, while Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul shows full support for Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s leadership and respect for her father, Thaksin.
According to Mr. Olarn, there are still many unresolved economic issues and a growing public perception that the government has not adequately addressed the hardship of its citizens.
” The reshuffle is necessary even if it doesn’t help]the government ] much. At least Pheu Thai can demonstrate to the people that the government is responsive to them by removing ministers who have performed poorly, he said, without a better explanation.
The lese majeste case, which reportedly slowed Thaksin’s political choices, is reportedly putting pressure on him. He is compelled to demonstrate that he is the only one who can deal with the “orange” camp, a reference to the People’s Party ( PP ), seen as a challenge to the conservatives.
The attorney-general indicted Thaksin on charges of lee majeste and computer crime in connection with an interview conducted on February 21, 2015 in Seoul, South Korea, on May 29 last year.
When he claimed that secret councillors supported the coup that overthrew the government of his younger sister, fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin allegedly defamed the monarchy while speaking with South Korean television station Chosun Ilbo.
The computer crime charge was due to Thaksin putting information into a computer system that was deemed a threat to national security.
Some analysts saw the conservative establishment’s insistence that the former prime minister had to honor a political agreement with the old power groups when they indict Thaksin.
On the day Mr. Srettha was chosen as prime minister, Thaksin faced jail time after leaving self-imposed exile in August 2023. The two major political developments were seen as the result of prior political deals struck between Thaksin and the old power groups.
Mr. Olarn stated that Thaksin is aware that the conservative camp views his own “red” Pheu Thai Party as a greater threat and that no one can fend off that threat without him.
