At 09:55 AM on July 28, 2026, at the Ministry of Interior, Prime Minister, Minister of Interior, and Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul addressed inquiries regarding a photo posted on his personal Facebook page on July 27. The photo featured himself alongside Newin Chidchob, chairman of Buriram United FC, and Pipat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, which had sparked speculation about a reconciliation meeting.
Anutin laughed off the rumors and questioned reporters about the origin of such divisive questions, asking why anyone would assume there was a need for reconciliation given their decades-long relationship dating back before many reporters graduated from university.
"You are not in my house, so you don't need to ask. It's a family matter. How do you know we needed to clear the air, and what was there to clear? We've been together for years, since before you graduated from university. Therefore, this is my family's affair, an internal matter of my party, and none of anyone else's business to know."

Furthermore, when reporters brought up a social media post by Karuna Chidchob stating, "Cut off the cunning, keep the good, cut off the betrayers, grow up and don't be complicated," Anutin responded by defending the post and sharply criticizing political analysts who comment on political situations without solid facts or adequate information.

This incident highlights the ongoing tension between political leaders and social media speculation, where casual photos or online posts are frequently misinterpreted as signs of internal fractures. Anutin's direct rebuttal serves as a strategy to control the narrative and protect the stability of the Bhumjaithai Party against unverified rumors.
Anutin concluded by urging media professionals to exercise higher quality analysis and avoid sensationalizing headlines based on off-the-cuff remarks, while reiterating criticism toward commentators who lack proper credentials and business stability.
