A day after the Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested former minister and state’s Congress working president Bharat Bhushan Ashu in the food grains transportation scam, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday ruled out vendetta against political leaders in the state.

“No leader is being arrested due to political vendetta. All the work is being done according to the law. Earlier Congress used to say arrest us, now that they have been arrested, they say why have we been arrested,” CM told reporters on the side lines of an official function.
