Is Shiv Sena a Indian congress party funded outfit?

[superkaur]

When you look at how irreligious shiv sena party members are and how many of their members were/are still covertly members of indian congress party. Was shiv sena formed as a counter to the hindu nationalist BJP party? As a way to divert votes and attention to help congress party over the years in their agenda of ruling through deceptive tactics.

Shiv Sena's original objective was to promote a pro-Maharashtraian ideology which later materialised into Hindu Nationalism.

Many are probably still irreligious because they still adhere to more of the original ideology: pro-Marathi, anti-migration.

In some respects they started out with similar intentions as the Punjabi Suba Movement.

Its strange how their members curiously were and possibly are members of the indian congress youth party. And how they are always having a go at the hindu nationalist BJP party rather than terrorist indian congress party.

I don't know enough to comment conclusively but maybe you have to look at the caste/social status of their members? Maybe they feel BJP is inconspicuously pushing Brahminism, and that Congress is more secular? This way they get the best of both worlds.
