In the last five years, India has jumped 79 spots in World Bank's Ease of Doing Business list and it is one of the most attractive economies for investment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today as he stressed that "this is the best time" to be in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a three-day visit to Thailand, has a number of engagements today. Later in the day, the Prime Minister will take part in the 14th East Asia summit. The agenda of the meet would be to review Prime Minister Narendra Modi justified his government's move to scrap Jammu and Kashmir's special status at an event in Bangkok on Saturday, saying that it has helped eliminate the root cause of terrorism and separatism in the country.
The economy was also reported as going into its first deficit since — the same economic conditions that spurred the coup that brought Prayut to power — although growth is now expected with the reopening of the country. The king has also taken personal command over military units with bases in Bangkok that have been used to stage coups in the past, including a battalion whose headquarters are directly opposite the current Parliament.
This consolidation means that the monarch has control over if and how a military coup could take place. He also has control over the forces Prayut would use to defend himself. A coup seems the least desirable scenario for all concerned, given the resulting instability it would lead to. As such, it is likely that if the prime minister must relinquish his position without consent, he will be given the chance to do so peacefully and as a part of the process to avoid forcible removal.
The political, business, and military elite likely desire stability and security. If the Prayut government cannot deliver, they will look to a new leader. This competition may not come from within Parliament, so if Prayut cannot weather the storm of COVID and its effects on Thailand, the alternative is a contest from the military, with the caveat of royal support, and a return to the ongoing cycle of coups and elections that has become idiosyncratic to the Thai political environment.
