JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, admitted that he did not discuss politics when he met with the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo.

Luhut said he only discussed cooking oil and tidal flooding in the area.

"Rob, cooking oil," said Luhut at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, June 9.

Luhut said he did not have time to discuss politics with Ganjar. Because, at this time he was already confused with his affairs and duties.

"I didn't have time to talk about it (politics). It's already difficult for me to think about myself," he said.

Luhut was also reluctant to respond about the figure of Ganjar Pranowo who would be promoted as a presidential candidate. He just smiled as he left the reporters.

Previously reported, Ganjar and Luhut agreed to postpone the implementation of the plan to increase ticket prices to the stupa area at Borobudur Temple.

"We postponed it first. Earlier, the Minister (Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan) had said, 'We will postpone the governor first, so that the story doesn't go anywhere'," said Ganjar after meeting with Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan at the Governor's Office. Central Java, Semarang, Antara, Tuesday, June 7th.

Ganjar previously suggested that the implementation of the increase in ticket prices for the Borobudur Temple stupa area be postponed. According to Ganjar, several steps were needed before the ticket price hike was finally implemented, especially since many people protested against the plan.

The application of increasing ticket prices to the stupa area of Borobudur Temple, he continued, needs to be reviewed again with the Borobudur Temple Tourism Park (TWC) and the Borobudur Conservation Center.

"I conveyed to him, this was a lot of protests, I think it was settled and he agreed. This is not a matter of tariffs, don't talk about it first, post it first, and indeed TWC and the hall are communicating, so people don't need to worry. That's important to convey," he said. .
