Pheu Thai plans rallies to explain policies

Party spokesman Promphong Nopparit said Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Phongthep Thepkanjana, Transport Minister Chadchart Sittipunt, former Thai Rak Thai executives Chaturon Chaisang and Bhokin Balakula, and former MP Jatuporn Promphan will take to the stage to clarify party policies. This will include the Bt2-trillion infrastructure project, constitutional amendment and reconciliation moves. They will also hear from the public about their problems and raise the issues at party meetings later, Promphong said.

The rallies come ahead of a special parliamentary session to open on May 29 to discuss the 2014 Budget Bill as proposed by the Cabinet.
