BN does not use dirty tactic in the Teluk Intan parliamentary by-election, including character assassination, its deputy chairman, Muhyiddin Yassin, said today.

"I have said before, during nomination, that BN will not be involved in such a tactic," he told reporters after the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the West Coast Expressway today.

The deputy prime minister said this when asked on a police report by DAP over the circulation of a picture of a woman, with features like its candidate, Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, who was clad in a bikini, recently.

Muhyiddin said BN had nothing to do with it.

    

"Don't make baseless accusations, unless there is proof," he added.

Muhyiddin (right) said the action by the opposition in always blaming the BN showed that they had run out of ideas to campaign.

On a campaign by DAP that Dyana Sofya would join Umno if she won in the by-election, Muhyiddin hoped voters would not be deceived with the opposition's tactic which was to confuse the people.

He said the BN campaign in Teluk Intan was going smoothly and its election machinery had explained to voters issued raised by the opposition.

"All quarters had been told to work hard and not to undermine the opposition," he added.

The Teluk Intan by-election will witness a straight fight between BN's Mah Siew Keong and Dyana Sofya. Polling is on May 31, while early voters will exercise their right on May 27.
