Megawati Reminded PDIP Cadres Not To Forget The People When They Get Positions

JAKARTA - PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri reminded her cadres to continue to take care of the people when elected. They should not be lulled by their position.

Megawati's message was conveyed by PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto while filling out a regional working meeting (Rakerda) of the South Kalimantan PDIP in Banjarmasin, Saturday, December 3. Cadres must go down to serve the people

"Mrs. Mega's message avoids forgetting the people when she is in office. Keep moving downwards," said Hasto in a written statement, Saturday, December 3.

Hasto said that anyone who works in politics must be ready to go down to the community. Moreover, PDIP prioritizes empowerment politics that does not mobilize the masses with money.

He even said that anyone who never goes down to the community after getting a position, especially legislators should resign from their positions. "Political empowerment, not political mobilization, especially with wages," he said.

"Go down. If a member of the council never goes down, never be a member of the council again. This is our culture," continued Hasto.

Furthermore, Hasto asked PDIP cadres to work in the community rather than frying the issue of presidential and vice presidential candidates. Moving the economy is considered more important at this time.

While moving downwards, PDIP will also prepare steps to win the 2024 General Election. So, he asked all cadres not to have many political gimmicks.

"The culture that we have built regarding the presidential candidate is the realm of the authority and mandate of our general chairman Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri. So while waiting for it, let's promote our spirit with our identity as a bull party to unite ourselves with the power of the people," he said.

"Let's formulate the struggle programs to come down, win the hearts of the people by mutual cooperation as a collective strength of the party. At the same time, we prepare all stages of winning the election as well as possible," concluded Hasto.
