Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has denied consorting with former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin to topple Najib Abdul Razak as prime minister.

Azmin's denial followed Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng's own denial this morning after blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin claimed the duo had met Muhyiddin for this purpose.

Azmin, who is also Bukit Antarabangsa state assemblyperson and Gombak MP, said he only met Muhyiddin when he was deputy prime minister to discuss Selangor's water issue.

He added that he had, likewise, met Najib on the same issue.

"I meet everyone. I have even met Najib. Why isn't that an issue?

I met Najib and Muhyiddin to discuss Selangor's water issue," he told the media after attending a Hari Raya open house function at Batu Caves today.

Azmin also said that he had never met Muhyiddin after the latter was dropped as deputy prime minister last month.
