JAKARTA - There is an interesting sight during the PDIP National Working Meeting today. The chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Election Winning DPP, Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul, looks familiar with the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo.

In fact, the two of them gave a commanding greeting and shouted the word 'freedom' to the boisterous welcome of the cadres. This atmosphere certainly raises the question of whether PDIP will start accepting Ganjar as a presidential candidate? Remember that Ganjar was previously called outrageous and coquettish by Bambang Pacul and other PDIP cadres?

Responding to this, senior PDIP politician Hendrawan Supratikno considered that Bambang Pacul and Ganjar's close relationship should not be seen as something strange. Because according to him, so far there is no problem between the two.

"Why is there really a problem between Mas Ganjar and Mas Pacul?" said Hendrawan to VOI, Tuesday, June 21.

According to Hendrawan, PDIP cadres maintain harmony with each other. Even though there are differences of opinion, he said, his fellow Banteng cadres are all brothers.

"Fellow cadres who are in one big family, must still be in harmony, bound by the same spirit of ideology. Different in brotherhood, brothers in differences," he said.

Regarding Bambang Pacul, who once mentioned Ganjar Kemlinthi and Kemajon, Hendrawan assessed that this phrase applies to all PDIP cadres.

"Well, all cadres must avoid VIRUS 3-K: kemajon, kemlinti and keblinger. This applies to all cadres," said Hendrawan.

However, continued Hendrawan, this intimacy does not mean that Ganjar will be accepted and supported by PDIP. Because, he said, the issue of presidential candidates will be decided solely by PDIP Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"The affairs of the candidate pair from the PDIP are under the authority of the chairman. So we are not fussy. We are already busy with other party duties, tasks that are our responsibility," he said.

Previously, the Chair of the PDI-P (PDIP) Election Winning DPP Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul seemed familiar with the Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo at the 2021 National Working Meeting (Rakernas) II.

Judging by the VOI who came to the location, at first Ganjar and Bambang Pacul seemed to greet the cadres in the PDIP II National Working Meeting which was held at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta today, Tuesday, June 21.

Furthermore, the two exchanged command greetings and had time to talk together. However, no discussion of the two was heard.

Not only Bambang Pacul, the chairman of the PDIP faction in the DPR RI, Utut Adianto, also spoke with Ganjar. They even shook hands after talking.

Utut then reheated the room by asking Ganjar and Bambang Pacul to repeat the command greetings they did. After that, a room was boisterous and screams of 'freedom' were heard.

The PDIP cadres who were present were enthusiastic to see the moment of Ganjar and Bambang Pacul's handshake before finally the participants were asked to sit in their seats because the activities were about to start.
