JAKARTA - Internally, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) seems to be very angry with the behavior of the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, who is considered ambitious in wanting to 'run' for the 2024 presidential election.

This was revealed by a member of the DPR RI from the PDIP faction, Trimedya Panjaitan, recently. The term Kemlinthi was also coined by the Chairman of the PDIP Faction, Bambang Wuryanto, or who is familiarly called Bambang Pacul, some time ago. This expression further strengthened the beating of the drums of the war between PDIP and Ganjar.

Trimedya assessed that Ganjar's move to maneuver to run for president in 2024 had gone too far. He said, in terms of Javanese people can be called kemlinthi or pretentious, songong, arrogant.

"If the Javanese said Kemlinthi, yes, he has come back, he should have been patient first when he carried out his duties as governor of Central Java, he interacted with structural friends there, DPD, DPC, Provincial DPRD, City Regency DPRD, that's new," Trimedya said in his statement, Wednesday, June 1st.

The bull party politician then questioned Ganjar's performance during his tenure as Governor of Central Java. The reason is, according to Trimedya, all this time Ganjar has been diligent in surfing on social media.

According to Trimedya, compared to Ganjar, the track record of DPR Chair Puan Maharani is clearly visible, starting from the Chair of the PDIP Faction in the DPR, to becoming the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture. Puan, said Trimedya, even managed to coordinate 7 ministries and their performance was good. Even when she was the Chair of the DPR, Puan was judged to be able to lead the best cadres of political parties at the leadership level.

“Please describe Ganjar's track record in the DPR! As governor finish that Wadas! Finish that Rob! How many roads are built. Then poverty in Central Java has actually increased, please help the public to compare apples to apples!,” said Trimedya. The deputy chairman of the DPR MKD also highlighted Ganjar's steps, which were too obvious to display political passion. According to Trimedya, this can be seen from his recent safaris to various regions in Indonesia. To note, Ganjar is active around Indonesia from North Sumatra to South Sulawesi. Who are the Papuans who know Ganjar? It looks right by design (it has been regulated, ed) especially for people who understand politics," said the legislator for the North Sumatra II electoral district.

Trimedya added that Ganjar, as one of the older cadres, should understand the character of PDIP and General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

Trimedya Praises: Ms., Leader Who Doesn't Like To Pretend

Trimedya then spoke about the figure of DPR Chair Puan Maharani who was mentioned as one of the candidates for national leaders in the 2024 presidential election.

According to Trimedya, as a cadre who has been in the party for a long time, Puan is a true leader, she doesn't like to pretend in public spaces. But Ms. Puan is trying to be a leader, that's how she is. He was born as the grandson of Bung Karno, the son of Bu Mega, Pak Taufik's son then became a politician at the national level, so he doesn't need to pretend," Trimedya said. side with the people. He also highlighted Ganjar who was only glossing over from public opinion. Show empathy? It's not too. Why wasn't he bald when Indonesia lost in the semifinals of the Sea Games," he criticized. Trimedya then explained Puan's clear track record since serving as Chair of the PDIP Faction during the opposition era of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). In the 2009-2014 period, Ganjar was a member of the faction. Just look at us, there were a lot of attractions that we did different from those of the opposition now, it's not clear," said Trimedya. Then, said Trimedya, when she became Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture in the 2014-2019 period, Puan managed to organize 7 Ministries. All of them performed well and were relatively successful. "said Trimedya.

Moreover, he said, DPR leaders are the best cadres of political parties in Senayan. He can also lead the commissions and AKD elections, everything is smooth, that's clearly performance measures. That's what we have to convey to the public," said Trimedya.
