Megawati then told the story of residents who lived under the bridge in Surabaya during the era of Mayor Eri Cahyadi and in Jakarta in the era of former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok.
"Pak Eri, Surabaya, at that time there was a village of one thousand nights, I told you to see earlier I thought that there was a bridge in the village, under which our people live," Megawati said in her speech at the announcement of candidates for regional heads at the district/city level and governors for the first wave at the PDIP DPP Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 14.
"Ha? Don't you have a conscience? I told you to call, I told you to pick up Mr. Ahok saying 'just take it, take care of it, when are you willing humans to eat with rats'. Are you Indonesian people or not? Are you the Indonesian people or not?" continued the daughter of the 1st President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno.
