MEDAN, North Sumatra: Thousands of Golkar supporters rallied
\non city streets on Monday, while party leaders addressed a
\ngathering and other activists distributed cheap foods in 21
\ndistricts.<\/p>\n
The distribution was organized by members of AMPI, a Golkar
\nyouth wing. Each district received 200 packages, which consisted
\nof 5 kilograms of rice, 2 kilos of sugar and 1 kilo of cooking
\noil each.<\/p>\n
Syahdansyah Putra, chairman of the Medan chapter of Golkar,
\ndenied the program was a vote-buying scheme. \"I have long said
\nthat there will be no day without Golkar paying attention to the
\nneedy,\" he said.<\/p>\n
\"We can't be accused of committing 'money politics' because we
\nare distributing the packages to our own cadres,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Syahdansyah expressed confidence his party would win 55
\npercent of the votes in Medan. However, if it lost, Golkar would
\nbe ready to become a coalition partner of the winner in the state
\nadministration. (39\/40)<\/p>",
