Perhaps, but what is clear is that the battle between Thaksin and his Puea Thai Party on one side and Newin Chidchob and his Bhum Jai Thai Perty is reaching a crescendo. But Thaksin is not short of allies and political ammunition. The pressure being put on Bhum Jai Thai and Newin and his man, Anutin Charnvirakul on the scam Senate selection process, undoubtedly owes much to the pro-Thaksin lot. The petition claims these senators have not remained neutral since taking office, instead backing Bhumjaithai and its key figures. Bhum Jai Thai and its senators are fighting back, but the momentum seems to be with Thaksin and his people.
