Dagens Yingluck:
Hon bedriver ju sitt eget lilla risstödsprogram, det ris hon köpte tidigare i veckan direkt av bönder, totalt 10 ton, såldes igår på ett shoppingcentrum i Bangkok, för samma pris, 20 THB per kilo. Såldes slut på en timme.
Prayuth förstås fly förbannad på att risbönderna utnyttjas i politiska syften. Men argast var nog den Demokratpolitikern som tjurigt hävdade att Yingluck med sin försäljning manipulerade marknaden..
Aktuell ställning i PR-kriget Yingluck vs juntan: 3-0.
On Sunday, Democrat Party member Warong Dejkitwikrom slammed former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra for manipulating rice prices for her own party's political gains.
Dr Warong, a former MP for Phitsanulok who spearheaded a campaign against Ms Yingluck over the rice-pledging scheme, said Ms Yingluck's latest buy-and-sell stunt was to undermine the regime at the expense of the market.
The former premier brought 10 tonnes of milled rice she had purchased from farmers during her visit to a northeastern province for distribution at a shopping mall in Bangkok on Saturday.
The rice, offered at 20 baht a kilogramme, the same price at which she bought them from the growers, was sold out in an hour.
Dr Warong said the purchase of rice in the northeastern province had been staged for political advantage and was not really intended to help farmers.
No rice farmers showed up the next day and the grains she bought for sale were readily packed for distribution.
"Selling the milled Hom Mali rice at 20 baht/kg is putting pressure on rice prices in a cold-blooded manner, when the grain is being offered at 30-35 baht/kg," he said.
However, Pheu Thai acting deputy spokesman Anusorn Iamsa-ard hit back at the Democrat member, saying Ms Yingluck can never do right in Dr Warong's eyes.
