Although BN is not contesting in the Bukit Gelugor by-election, it has however appointed a proxy, alleged PKR deputy president Azmin Ali.
He said the proxy is Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM), which he mockingly called "Parti Cari Makan" (Party for hire).
PCM vice-president Huan Cheng Guan is one of four candidates contesting the parliamentary seat in Penang.
Azmin claimed that BN is using a proxy because the ruling coalition and its chief Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak could not find a candidate.
"We are not asking him to find 10 people, just one. And yet, he is not able to do it.
"Instead he appoints Parti Cinta Malaysia to contest," Azmin told reporters after launching the PKR operations centre.
This morning, Huan (left) denied being a BN-appointed candidate, saying he was contesting under his party logo.
Huan added that he was contesting with his own money and PCM might not even be able to afford numerous polling and counting agents.
He accused DAP of being more "BN-friendly" than him as it's secretary-general Lim Guan Eng was allegedly seen taking “selfies” with Najib and hugging BN leaders.
Yesterday Bernama reported Najib announcing the coalition will not field a candidate, but curiously said discussions were ongoing on whether Independent candidates will be fielded for the May 25 polls.
'No BN for Teluk Intan too?'
Meanwhile Azmin when launching the operations centre placed a PKR T-shirt on DAP candidate Ramkarpal Singh as a sign of solidarity between the two parties.
Accompanying Azmin were DAP leaders and MPs Zairil Khir Johari (Bukit Bendera) and Liew Chin Tong (Kluang), DAP assemblypersons Jagdeep Singh Deo (Dato Keramat) and RSN Rayer (Seri Delima) as well as PAS' Parit Buntar MP Mujahid Yusof Rawa.
Azmin urged his members not to be complacent even though BN is not present to challenge DAP.
He urged members to show solidarity and support to help Ramkarpal obtain an even bigger majority than his father had last year.
"We hope that BN will repeat the same stand not to compete against DAP in Teluk Intan," he added.
