JAKARTA - The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, emphasized that his relationship with the Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bapilu) of the PDI-P (PDIP) Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul was no problem. Even if you don't agree, said Ganjar, this usually happens.
"That's normal, the name is also like a weather forecast. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it's hot," Ganjar told reporters at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 22.
Even so, Ganjar said he knew Bambang well. Before being active in politics, they also knew each other because they both studied at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Yogyakarta.
"Mas Pacul is my friend at UGM, my senior. In the past, he was with the Secretary General with me, at Badiklat with me, in the faction with me," he said.
"So it's normal for me," added Ganjar.
Meanwhile, regarding the command greeting he did with Bambang Pacul at the opening of the National Working Meeting, Ganjar said this showed solidarity as directed by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.
"Greetings, command, yes, we will show this is the National Working Meeting. We must be united from the orders of the general chairman," he said.
As previously reported, Bambang Pacul and Ganjar Pranowo shook hands and greeted the command during the PDI-P II National Working Meeting on Tuesday, June 21. At this moment, initially Ganjar and Bambang Pacul seemed to greet the cadres in the event room.
Furthermore, the two exchanged command greetings and had time to talk together. However, no discussion of the two was heard.
Not only Bambang Pacul, the chairman of the PDIP faction in the DPR, Utut Adianto, also spoke with Ganjar. They even shook hands after talking.
Utut then reheated the room by asking Ganjar and Bambang Pacul to repeat the command greetings they did. After that, a room was boisterous and screams of 'freedom' were heard.
This moment then became the spotlight because these two politicians were often reported to be at odds over the affairs of the presidential nomination. Bambang Pacul is said to have rejected Ganjar from running as a presidential candidate. He even quipped several times and made strong statements to Ganjar.
