Satit: Coalition remains solid, no agenda for a snap election

"Some ill-intentioned people want to drive a wedge between coalition partners but this poses no threat to the government," he said.

He said rumour mongers fabricated the coalition rift although this was groundless because the government did not allocated lopsided spendings to favour one coalition partner over the other as alleged.

Although the government remains prepared for any unforeseen political developments, it still has not anticipated the House dissolution in a near future, he said.

"If the government diverts its attention to the political predicament and preoccupies itself with campaign preparations, then it won't have time to tackle the country's problems," he said.

Commenting on the coalition bandwagon, particularly Bhum Jai Thai ties, he said he had just had a conversation with the prime minister discussing development projects in the Northeast and other regions.

"I believe the government's stability hinges on the people's satisfaction," he said, hinting at the boost in government spending on public work.
