NRC vote incurs Prayut's wrath
Accuses members of pressurIng CabInet by voting down Petroleum bidding
PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday lambasted the National Reform Council (NRC) for voting against the Cabinet's policy to proceed with the 21st round of petroleum concession bidding, a source said yesterday.
The atmosphere was "tense" during the second meeting of the five core agencies at the Royal Thai Army Club, which reporters were not allowed to observe.
Key representatives such as chiefs, deputies and spokesmen from the National Legislative Assembly, the NRC, the National Council for Peace and Order, the Cabinet, and the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) held their second meeting since the formation of the five agencies.
Prayut pulled no punches in his attack on the NRC, accusing the assembly of pressuring the Cabinet by voting against the government's policy on petroleum concession.
