PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini talked about the current atmosphere of President Joko Widodo's cabinet meeting. To PDIP, Risma admitted that she no longer felt comfortable when attending cabinet meetings. "Bu Risma shared now the atmosphere at the cabinet meeting. Even when the meeting was going to be examined, there were elements of discomfort," said Hasto at the Media Center TPN Ganjar-Mahfud, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, January 30. However, Hasto claimed that the PDIP politician who is also the former mayor of Surabaya is still working even in an uncomfortable atmosphere. "Tugas untuk rakyat, bangsa dan negara harus melepaskan diri dari berbagai kenyamanan karena untuk mengurus rakyat diperlukan integritas, perlu ketentuan dalam prinsip yang dilakukan oleh Bu Risma," urai Hasto. Hasto also mentioned the issue of not being involved in Risma in various social assistance distribution activities (bansos) by President Joko Widodo. The current distribution of social assistance is considered by Hasto to be full of politicization ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Moreover, there was a case of Bulog rice with a sticker of presidential and vice presidential candidates number 2, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"The data for poor rice, which turned out to be not through the Minister of Social Affairs, in practice, a lot of Bulog rice was affixed with stickers from the Prabowo-Gibran pair, this was a very serious violation until the Vice President ordered a special study of the violation to be carried out," he concluded.
