News from Bangkok would hit the headlines, as the arrival of a new political power is expected. Waves of democracy are on high spirits time after time, the generals of Thai are no exceptions to the concept. They have seized power 15 months ago during a revolution but now the sparks of elections are ahead. Sunday would be their day to instigate a Thailand civilian government.
Stable democracy had not been the style of this country due to many political reasons followed by corruption. This has been the reason behind its takeover against a government lead by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
One could easily guess that Thailand is under its political gestation period, as political analysts predict a tension no matter who wins the election.
Thaksin is considered as the most wanted but controversial political leader, no wonder he was ousted in 2006 by the generals. But debates prevail, as the support for a party that would bring him back to force would be appreciated by the Thai people.
Not to deny the motive behind this support, the leader owns some credits. Targeting the poor and lower-middle class, Thaksin has commenced low-cost health care and debt forgiveness. Village funds had been another attractive scheme captivating the hearts of the people. Past had been on the hands of the generals now what would the parties do to regain power forever.
Promises are on air now, projects are offered like packages in the name of ‘Urgent Operation Plan Doable in 99 Days.” They would slash prices and hold the sectors of education to irrigation for development.
News is that they would censor media, during the election! Now would that stop us from giving news?
