Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Sunday wails his supporters in support of Pheu Thai member Sub Lt Phumiphan Boonmatoon, who is running for Bueng Kan Provincial Administration Organization key.

In a speech at a rally in Bueng Kan state on Sunday, the former prime minister and de facto leader of the decision Pheu Thai Party, Thaksin Shinawatra, made the pledge to build up to one million cover products for people with low income.

Following the launch of the president’s Home for Thais system late last year, about 31 million people have expressed their involvement in signing up for a product, with hundreds of thousands currently registered, said Thaksin.

He made the remarks on Sunday at a campaign path event in Bueng Kan state in advance of the provincial administration organization’s polls for February 1.

He claimed that there is a lot of desire, but only about 7, 000 of them are currently being constructed.

In response to this exceptionally high demand for housing, he continued, the state will create at least 100, 000 more modules this year and another 100, 000 the following month.

He claimed that the project’s goal is to create one million products.

Since leading the Thai Rak Thai Party, the group that gave rise to Pheu Thai, under his leadership, Thaksin said he has been considering building flats for low-income residents who live and work in Bangkok.

He claimed that he had envisioned these cover projects being constructed close to the energy rail system for no more than 20 baht per trip. He suggested that Bangkok’s rail system may continue to be expanded to connect with those in other regions.

Thaksin even claimed that he was the one who, in 2003, ordered the cabinet’s determination to be overturned so that only the lowest-priced location could be grown for food.

He claimed he saw hidden potential in the industry and instead recommended expanding, paying 1 million ra at the time, while also finding new marketplaces where Thailand was require higher, fairer prices. The success of the rubber-growing regions in Bueng Kan only, Thaksin claimed, demonstrates that he made the right choice.

The former leading vowed to tackle drug addictions as harshly as he did some years ago, stating that drug dealers would be dealt with as soon as possible and drug addicts would be treated.

” These drug dealers will soon be required to stop their illegal activities. They have been doing it for a long time, he claimed.

” Be warned, you will lose all assets ]earned illegally from dealing drugs ]. All of the homes and cars you purchase may be seized, and you will go to jail.

Thaksin stated that there are still other worthwhile initiatives in development, including the upcoming cycle of the online money handout program for people under the age of 60.
