<h1>Opposition Slams Ruling Party Over Alliance U-Turn, Citing Alleged Money Laundering Charges and Political Duplicity</h1> An opposition party spokesperson in Maharashtra accused a ruling national party and a state minister of misleading voters by taking inconsistent positions on an alliance with a regional party led by the state's deputy chief minister. The spokesperson questioned how the ruling party could reject a civic-poll alliance over serious money laundering allegations against a senior regional leader while continuing to share power with the same party at the state level. The ruling party claims its stance is based on grave charges, including alleged links to an underworld associate, after a court framed charges in a money laundering case. The spokesperson warned of political 'duplicity' and demanded termination of the state-level alliance.
