Jakarta (B2B) - Menteri Pertanian Suswono menyatakan dukungan terhadap rencana pemerintah untuk menaikkan harga BBM bersubsidi, meskipun partai pengusungnya, Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) menolak rencana pemerintah tersebut.
Suswono mengakui bahwa dirinya bersama dua kader PKS, Tifatul Sembiring dan Salim Segaf Al Jufri yang menjabat Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika dan Menteri Sosial telah melakukan sosialisasi melalui pemasangan iklan layanan masyarakat, untuk mendukung rencana Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).
"Kami sudah sosialisasikan kami pun memasang iklan layanan masyarakat, karena kenaikan itu memang sudah pada waktunya," ungkap Suswono yang ditemui sebelum mengikuti rapat kerja dengan Komisi IV DPR di Jakarta, Jumat (14/6).
Meskipun dirinya dan dua menteri asal PKS lainnya mendukung pemerintah, menurut Suswono, hal itu tidak lantas mendorong perpecahan di dalam internal PKS. "Perbedaan pendapat hal yang wajar."
