Seperti dikutip dari Jakarta Post (12 April 2014) sebagai berikut:
A source within the PDI-P, who wished to remain anonymous, said a heated debate had ensued inside the house between rival supporters of Jokowi on the one hand and Megawati’s daughter, Puan Maharani, who is head of the party’s general election division, on the other.
Both camps, according to the source, started pointing fingers and played the blame game.
“Puan then told Jokowi to leave. She was very disappointed, as she had expected Jokowi’s popularity to help the PDI-P win at least 30 percent of the vote, paving the way for her to become the party’s
vice presidential candidate later on,” the source said, adding that Megawati had broken down in tears during the debate.
