Meanwhile, Chuvit, yesterday filed a complaint with the NACC against Chaiwat. He also submitted a video clip of his conversation with Chaiwat as evidence, accusing him of interfering in budget allocation for road construction in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Chuvit said he would also later reveal corruption by another party member, Protepran Tohranee.
Chaiwat said he and Chuvit were no longer friends as Chuvit had destroyed his dignity and reputation.
Chuvit said his role as the party leader must be separated from their friendship. If the party must be destroyed after revelation about corruption by his party member, he would do it himself.
“This is not politicking. I don’t like politicking. Chaiwat and I have been friends. But now we have different ideologies. If a prime minister in charge of the Cabinet allows Cabinet members to do bad things, that’s conspiracy like rowing the boat for bandits,” Chuvit said.
Chuvit earlier informed the Election Commission that Chaiwat and another party-list MP Protepran Tohranee had resigned from party membership.
Chaiwat yesterday denied pushing for more budget in favour of his locality in the South, saying it was not his duty as he is in the House Committee on National Security, not the budget.
Chaiwat said he would continue his work as an opposition MP.
