BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin came under fire in parliament on Monday over a new government policy agenda that opposition lawmakers called vague and short of some of his party's boldest election pledges.
Real estate tycoon Srettha was approved as prime minister in a parliamentary vote last month after his populist Pheu Thai Party, the second-place finisher in a May election, agreed to lead a coalition government that included parties backed by its fierce rival, the military.
But Move Forward, the progressive opposition party that won the election but was blocked by army-backed lawmakers from forming a government, said Pheu Thai's plan lacked specifics. Srettha, who is also finance minister, said his signature policy - a 10,000 baht giveaway via a digital wallet to all Thais over the age of 16 - would"re-awaken" the economy.
