Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has shown she is not in control of the flood situation, and the problem at Khlong Sam Wa is an obvious example of her failing, Democrat Party spokesman Chavanont Intarakomalyasut said on Wednesday.
The spokesman said he did not know what logic Ms Yingluck had used in ordering the floodgate to be opened to one meter wide.
What was worse, after the gate was lifted higher the volume of water in Khlong Sam Wa had not dropped at all because northern runoff was still pouring in, Mr Chavanont said.
The water released by lifting the gate higher was rushing down to Min Buri district, leaving Bang Chan and Lat Krabang industrial estates unprepared.
"The prime minister is doing everything in response to pressure from other people," he said.
"Similar examples have occurred one after another, from Pathum Thani to Wat Nawong community at Lak Hok in Don Mueang area, Khlong Sam Wa, Bang Sue, and Nakhon Chai Si district of Nakhon Pathom.
"These indicate that she is incapable of ordering where the floodwater should be held back."
Mr Chavanont said damage could be widespread and affect people everywhere because of Ms Yingluck's inability to properly administer the country.
He said the Democrat Party had ask her to invoke the emergency decree to enable effective control of the flood, but to no avail, because she did not want to accept the opposition's advice.
"We hope her shortcomings are soon corrected, otherwise there will be even more damage," the Democrat Party spokesman ssaid.
