Congress party does not find the Shiv Sena's Hindutva ideology harmful. According to sources, Congress leadership believes that Hindutva ideology followed by Shiv Sena was neither harmful nor detrimental to their alliance in Maharashtra.

Congress, along with its ally NCP, has joined hands with Shiv Sena to stake a claim at power in Maharashtra. The three parties have worked hard over the past three days to finalise their common minimum programme and power share formula. The new alliance is likely to present its claim to Governor BS Koshyari on Saturday.

As the Congress-NCP joined hands with ideological opponent Shiv Sena, there were concerns about the stability of the government. But the sources say that three parties have amicably agreed on including all major aspects of each other's manifestos into the alliance's common minimum programme.

"All parties have made it clear the government will run only and only on the common minimum programme and not on ideologies," the sources within Congress said.

Also, Shiv Sena has changed a lot in terms of politics on ideology after entry of Aaditya Thackeray, they added.
