PDIP Responds To The Issue Of Megawati's Relations With Jokowi

SOLO - Chairman of the Surakarta City PDI-P DPC FX Hadi Rudyatmo responded to the issue of a link between PDI-P DPP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"If I comment simply, if Pak Jokowi has conveyed like a child with his mother, I don't see any cracks there," said Rudyatmo, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 5.

He said the issue was blowing because it is currently a political year where there are efforts from various parties to divide Jokowi's relationship with Megawati.

"Every five years it is certain, the name is the political year. So that people's thoughts are divided," he said.

He said similar issues had also occurred in 2019 when the presidential election was being held at that time.

"The name is political year, everything will continue to be fried. In 2019, he also said there were (issues) of rifts," he said.

In fact, Rudyatmo, who knew the two figures well, said that the relationship between Jokowi and Megawati was very close.

"The two of them often communicate, eat together," he said.

Meanwhile, when asked about the 10 names of the candidates for vice president who have been pocketed by the PDI-P, he said it was not his authority to convey it.

"I don't know, it's not my right and authority. The important thing is who is promoted by the PDI-P with the support of other political parties, I as a party cadre whose job is only to carry out and win," said the former Surakarta mayor.
