The banner with a picture of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia with the words 'Bahlil No Gas 3 Kg Yes' is scattered at a number of points in Jakarta.

Responding to this, political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, M Jamiluddin Ritonga said that the banners were certainly a form of strong protest from the people against Bahlil.

The protest is a form of disappointment with Bahlil's policy of 3 kg gas which has forced the people to queue to get the gas. There are even people who died, "said Jamiluddin, Thursday, February 6.

According to him, the policy is considered very not pro-people. This policy is far from the desire to serve the people.

Not only that, Jamiluddin is of the view that Bahlil's policy is also not in line with the spirit echoed by President Prabowo Subianto that his government is very pro-people.

In fact, Prabowo emphasized that he would take action against his non-pro-people ministers.

"Because of that, it's time for Prabowo to reshuffle Bahlil. Because Bahlil's policy is considered not in line with Prabowo's policy. So, Prabowo is very logical if he removes Bahlil. Because Bahlil only burdens Prabowo," he said.

Recently, there were banners depicting the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) of Indonesia Bahlil Lahadalia in a number of places at a number of points in Jakarta.

The protest-style banner emerged after there was a controversial policy of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources regarding the prohibition of retailers from selling 3 kilograms of LPG gas.

The aftermath of this policy resulted in a long queue of 3 kg LPG purchases in a number of areas, even claiming lives.
