West Java Province, especially West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil and himself as West Java Deputy Governor. It is as if, according to the law, the Bodebek (Bogor, Depok, Bekasi) areas are not progressing because they are joining West Java. For example, large local revenue (PAD), good education and health infrastructure, and others. Therefore, Uu asked Idris to be careful in making statements. "Don't say things that make people give an interpretation that the provincial government has not succeeded in building West Java," he said.

According to UU, the provincial government and the city or district government should mutually support and strengthen each other. Because according to him, the West Java Champion Born Inner program has derivatives of innovation, collaboration and digitization.
