Bangkok: Dr. Jetsada points out that the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) is creating an image of patriotism to garner last-minute votes. Dr. Jetsada revealed that the People's Party is constructing an image of "patriotism and love of the land" to attract votes as the election approaches, highlighting their stance on constitutional amendments as having a hidden agenda.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Jetsada Tonawanik, the Rak Chart Party's prime ministerial candidate, discussed the roles and political directions of parties during the campaign. He stressed that the Rak Chart Party's mission is centered on fulfilling their duty as Thai citizens and subjects of His Majesty the King, rather than merely seeking to increase their parliamentary seats or secure the premiership. Mr. Jetsada emphasized the need for clear communication among Thais.

Mr. Jetsada highlighted that the People's Party is endeavoring to project an image of dedication to the monarchy and the nation, aiming to gain votes. He questioned the necessity of their actions, such as wearing yellow shirts and discussing issues related to the monarchy, if not for vote-seeking purposes. He also pondered the future use of these votes, particularly regarding initiatives like amending Article 112, constitutional amendments, or drafting a new constitution.

He stated that while discussions on amending the constitution could be held, drafting a new constitution involving changes to Chapters 1 and 2, which concern the monarchy's powers, would be essential. Various groups, including academics and NGOs, are rallying support for this new constitution without clearly explaining the stance of the country's core institutions.

Mr. Jetsada perceived these efforts as an attempt to deceive the public for votes to form a government and later reveal their true intentions. He noted instances where actions could not be entirely concealed, such as during the national anthem, questioning why some would hide their hands.

He urged the leaders of the People's Party to transparently communicate their ideologies to the public. He reiterated the responsibility of political parties and Thai citizens to inform the public about national happenings.

Mr. Jetsada concluded by asserting that if someone intended to overthrow the monarchy, it would be admitted as exploiting it, but their aim is to inform the public about the country's situation, fulfilling a duty shared by political parties and citizens alike.
