Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan today rejected RJD chief Lalu Prasad's charge that the CBI raid at his premises was an act of "political vendetta" by the NDA government, saying the CBI case had nothing to do with any political party but corruption.

The LJP chief, an ally of Prasad before he joined the NDA ahead of the 2014 polls, said the CBI action was in accordance with the law.

To a question on whether Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should snap ties with Prasad, Paswan said it was for the JD(U) chief to answer.

When Prasad was sent to jail in a fodder scam case the NDA was not in power at the Centre, the minister said as he rejected the charge of "political vendetta".
