Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Monday laughed at speculations by certain press that she would be removed at pressure of former Thai Rak Thai Party executives.
“It’s colourful story,” Yingluck replied, laughingly when asked to comment on the reports that former Thai Rak Thai executives wanted her to be removed as the premier.
It was reported that the former Thai Rak Thai executives feared that Yingluck’s poor performance in dealing with the flood crisis would affect the Pheu Thai’s political bases.
The reports said the Thai Rak Thai executives wanted to replace Yingluck with either Justice Minister Pracha Promnok and Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung.
Pracha laughed when asked to comment on the report, saying he did not want the top position.
