Hasto Says TPN Legal Team Moves After Receiving Reports There Are Piles Of Social Assistance At The Yogyakarta Golkar DPD Office

Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said the Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN) through the legal team moved to check the presence of piles of rice suspected of being social assistance (bansos) at the Yogyakarta Golkar DPD Office. They have received a photo that confirms the allegation.

"The legal team is processing it. So we got the photos, especially from Yogyakarta," Hasto told reporters in Jakarta quoted on Monday, February 5.

Hasto regretted the alleged pile of social assistance at the party office supporting pair number two, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"The social assistance must be used really for the benefit of the people," said the Secretary of the TPN Ganjar-Mahfud.

"(Bansos, red) is not for the benefit of the giver," he continued.

On that occasion, Hasto also talked about the cohesiveness of presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan and presidential candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo when discussing social assistance issues. He said, Ganjar actually deliberately provided gastric bait for his rivals because he saw the current conditions.

It is known that Ganjar and Anies compactly criticized the distribution of social assistance during the fifth presidential candidate debate on Sunday night, February 4. This moment occurred when the former Governor of Central Java asked how to prevent assistance from the government from being claimed by certain groups, on target, so as not to cause jealousy.

This gastric bait was then grabbed by Anies. He said that the former governor of DKI Jakarta, social assistance should be focused on the recipient, not the giver so that the distribution must be adjusted according to its needs.

"Yes, actually it is a gastric bait from Mr. Ganjar. Because we see that the social assistance has its meaning shifted. Even though social assistance is a commitment for the small people, not for the giver," said Hasto.

"So, we agree with what was conveyed by Pak Anies and Pak Ganjar also feel that as a person who sleeps in people's homes, many are not on target. So social assistance must begin with a commitment to the ideology of wong cilik but with good data. Therefore, Pak Ganjar perfected it through the Sakti ID card," he concluded.
