Bangkok: Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, has addressed the shifting dynamics of his relationship with former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Anutin openly expressed that their relationship has evolved, citing the recent political developments as evidence of this change. “How can it be the same? We haven’t called or spoken for a long time. If he loves me the same, he wouldn’t have taken the Interior Ministry,” Anutin remarked, indicating a significant shift in their political alliance.

According to Thai News Agency, the interaction between Anutin and the media took a humorous turn when Phradon Prisananantakul, an MP for Ang Thong, seemed perplexed by the mention of Thaksin. During the interview, after Anutin’s statement, Phradon turned to Thanayot Thimsuwan, an MP for Loei, and asked with apparent bewilderment, “Who is he?” This moment of confusion was followed by a flustered expression, adding a lighter note to the serious political discussion.

This exchange highlights the complexities and evolving nature of political relationships in the Thai political landscape, where allegiances and power dynamics are often subject to change.
