The NCP has said Enforcement Directorate (ED) actions against leaders of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra were politically motivated and driven by vendetta.

Speaking to reporters here, NCP spokesman and cabinet minister Nawab Malik said the BJP demands action and the ED obliges immediately by sending notices and conducting raids on its political opponents. "This means that it (ED action) is politically motivated," Malik said.
