JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) only laughed when asked about the difference in choices with the PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

Initially, the mass media asked Jokowi whether to follow Megawati's entire choice. This moment occurred when the former Governor of DKI Jakarta inaugurated the At-Taufiq Mosque in Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, today, Wednesday, June 8.

When he heard the question, Jokowi just laughed and chose not to respond further.

"This is a strange question," Jokowi told reporters, Wednesday, June 8.

Jokowi emphasized that his relationship with Megawati is also fine. He even said that he had a bond like mother and son. His relationship with Megawati, said Jokowi, is also not as tenuous as the rumors circulating. "

Who said we were apart?" Jokowi asked. "Me and Megawati are like a big family," he added.

As previously reported, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto has also dismissed the issue of the heated relationship between Megawati and Jokowi. He even accused this issue of being blown by irresponsible parties.

This was conveyed by Hasto after the inauguration of the Head and Steering Committee of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP) yesterday, Tuesday, June 7. At that time, he witnessed Megawati and Jokowi talking one-on-one with great intimacy.

"Me and Mas Pramono Anung (Minister of Cabinet Secretary) watched before and after the inauguration of the Honorary Council and BPIP Management who spoke closely with joy. Even after the inauguration ceremony, Pak Jokowi and Bu Mega talked privately, and on the way to the car, Pak Jokowi held hands Mrs. Mega," said Hasto in an electronic message received in Jakarta, Tuesday, June 7.
