Prime Minister Anutin Chaiyawongsa addressed rumors of internal discord within the Bhumjaithai Party on July 2 at Government House, stating the party secretary already responded that the matter involves family relations. When asked for clarification, Anutin refused, saying there was no need to explain since party members had previously changed their names to 'Netin' and 'Anuwin.' He told reporters not to dwell on non-issues. Pressed on whether the relationship remained solid, Anutin replied cryptically that "it doesn't need translation." When asked about lower-ranking party members' conflicts, the Prime Minister laughed and remarked that whenever he says the leadership isn't quarreling, people claim subordinates are. He sarcastically challenged party members to try bickering, noting that many have already faced criticism and mockery, and joked that several have been "roasted." When asked whether he was confident the party had no internal contradictions, Anutin referenced his previous answer, mentioning that on one occasion about four to five members had been "roasted," and invited reporters to ask who specifically.
