Udon Thani: Anutin Charnvirakul, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, led a delegation of MPs and senior officials from the Ministry of Interior to Udon Thani, emphasizing the achievements of local MPs and highlighting the need for increased budget allocations for public works. The visit included a warm introduction of Mr. Adisak Kaewmungkunsap, an MP from the Thai Sang Thai Party, as a courageous representative of the region.
According to Thai News Agency, Anutin's visit aimed to review ongoing government initiatives and address any existing challenges within the province. During his visit to Champi Subdistrict Municipality, Anutin highlighted the inadequacies in the current budget allocation, lamenting the limited 700 million baht designated for public works over three years and contrasting it with the proposed 3 billion baht that Bhumjaithai Party would have secured.
Anutin praised the quality of local MPs, including those from the Bhumjaithai Party, and encouraged residents to support them in future elections. He underscored the importance of effective coordination by MPs in securing necessary resources for their constituencies, hinting that their successful negotiation skills should be a key criterion for voters.
The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized the significance of OTOP (One Tambon One Product) products, advocating for a nationalist approach to boost domestic production and export value. He called for unity and mutual support among Thais to enhance the competitiveness of local products on the international stage.
In a light-hearted moment, Anutin introduced his accompanying party MPs and officials, including Mr. Chaichanok Chidchob and Mr. Jessada Thaiset, while making humorous remarks about their roles and relationships. He urged the people of Udon Thani to consider electing Bhumjaithai Party members to ensure better representation and resource allocation for their province.
Anutin's speech was punctuated with calls for unity and the need to transcend party lines to address public concerns effectively. He reiterated his commitment to addressing the grievances presented by Mr. Adisak on behalf of the Udon Thani populace and assured that the Ministry of Interior would continue to prioritize the welfare of the people above political affiliations.
The visit concluded with Anutin reiterating his dedication to serving the people of Udon Thani and urging them to choose representatives who can effectively advocate for their needs, promising that a change in representation could lead to significant improvements in public infrastructure and services.
