'Double standards' in cabinet picksPeople's Party list MP-elect Rukchanok Srinork has accused Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul of applying double standards in forming a new cabinet, questioning the possible appointment of Deputy Prime Minister Suchart Chomklin despite what she described as a record of controversies. In a Facebook post, Ms Rukchanok welcomed reports that Mr Anutin intends to introduce stricter criteria for cabinet appointments. She noted that the prime minister had reportedly rejected certain Pheu Thai Party nominees as part of that effort. However, she questioned whether the same standards were being applied within Mr Anutin's own ranks, singling out Mr Suchart, who is widely seen as a potential cabinet pick. Later yesterday, Mr Suchart assigned his legal team to file a complaint against Ms Rukchanok at Bang Phlat police station.
