JAKARTA - Democratic Party politician Didi Irawadi Syamsuddin responded in a number of satires to the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, regarding flooding in several areas of the capital city due to heavy rains.

Didi was surprised by those who only blamed Anies. In fact, he said, the Jakarta flood occurred because of the very high rainfall due to recent climate change.

"Heavy rain then caused a flood, funny and very strange if suddenly the cause was accused only of an Anies Baswedan. Anies, we have done a lot to overcome the risk of flooding in Jakarta," Didi told reporters, Wednesday, October 12.

According to Didi, the satire is very political. Because, he said, in Anies' era of leadership, flood management was much better than the previous governor.

"Those who accuse the flood because Anies is unable to manage the flood are clearly very political. They are people who are afraid because the Anies poll continues to rise for the 2024 presidential candidate," said Didi.

The member of Commission III of the DPR assessed that the current end of Anies felt restless and worried that his group would lose. The reason is, Anies will run in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Didi also said that Anies' critics were like people who lost before the war.

"Are people who play accusing arbitrarily afraid of Anies/AHY's ongoing polls? Currently, there are many polls, placing Anies/AHY in the number 1 ranking to become the leader of 2024," said Didi.

Didi then asked all parties to be objective in looking at the flood problems that occurred in Jakarta. He reminded that the problem of DKI flooding is not solely because of the leader.

"This is not related to who the leader is. It is certain that the volume of rainwater that fell exceeded its capacity, the emergence of floods. This is not the fault of anyone who became the leader of DKI," he concluded. Previously, social media activist who is also a politician from the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Guntur Romli distributed a banner that reads thank you to Anies Baswedan plastered on the Jakarta flood site, on his Twitter account, Thursday, October 6. In the photo, the banner that reads thank you to Anies Baswedan was posted in the Pondok Labu area, South Jakarta. The banner that displays Anies Baswedan's face reads "ASWED FOR YOU ANIES BASWEDAN. INDONESIA 2024'S NEW HARPAN" was installed at the location in a flood condition of about 1 meter.

Guntur Romli also responded to the thank you written on the banner for Anies Baswedan.

"Thank you for what? For Jakarta which continues to sink, floods, traffic jams, unemployment & poverty increases?," tweeted Guntur Romli. Meanwhile, social media activist Jhon Sitorus criticized DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan regarding the flood that hit the capital city. Jhon Sitorus admitted that he was surprised that there was no rain but as many as 68 RTs in Jakarta were flooded due to the overflow of the Ciliwung River.

This was conveyed by Jhon Sitorus on his personal Twitter account, on Monday, October 10.

"There is no HUJAN, there is no GERIMIS, but 68 RTs have been suspended. The height has even reached 200 cm, this flood is really SOPAN and BERIMIS, silent without making pedestrians rain," said Jhon Sitorus.

"This is the work of the governor of doubts that he appreciates, providing CENTRAL without HUJAN," he concluded.
