Sharad Pawar-led NCP today dubbed the arrest of party leader Sameer Bhujbal by the Enforcement Directorate as an act of "political vendetta" by the ruling BJP.
"This is nothing but political vendetta by BJP," a senior NCP leader said.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Kirit Somaiya welcomed the arrest. "We have done it. Sameer Bhujbal has been arrested by ED. Pankaj Bhujbal to follow," Somaiya said.
