A simple lunch without political implications: Abhisit
The yesterday's working lunch with faction leader Newin Chidchob has no political implications, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday.
"The discussion was about the exchange of views on the country's administration," Abhisit said, dismissing speculation about the coalition rift.
The prime minister and Newin held a closed door meeting over luncheon at Baan Phitsanulok. Among participants included Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban and prime minister's secretary general Niphon Prompan.
The luncheon coincided with the concern about the future of the Democrat-led coalition if the government decided to shelf the Bt64 billion bus leasing project, spearheaded by Newin's Bhum Jai Thai Party.
