Pheu Thai takes aim at BJT policy statement, cabinet

Next 4 months ‘all about securing grip’

- AEKARACH SATTABURUTH

The opposition Pheu Thai Party criticised the current administration as a “transitional government” designed to help Bhumjaithai secure power on the first day of the policy statement debate yesterday.

Pheu Thai MP for Nan, Cholnan Srikaew, expressed doubts that the Bhumjaithai-led government could deliver its policies before the upcoming election, because many cabinet ministers lacked capabilities.

The former Pheu Thai leader claimed that they are more likely to spend the next four months in office trying to secure their grip on power.

Dr Cholnan blasted the appointment of these ministers as “window dressing” saying they were mainly tasked with boosting the party's popularity, in an effort to influence the outcome of the election that is scheduled to take place sometime in March next year.
