The Congress has differences. The BJP too has differences. There are dissidents in BJP. There are dissidents in the Congress too. But, see how the BJP addresses them and how the Congress handles them. The difference between the two parties will become very clearer when one sees how both the parties tackle similar issues.
The BJP too has its own groups. But, they never wash their dirty linen in public. They discuss in the internal fora. There are powerful and widely respected mediators, who thrash out the issues and arrive at conclusions. The issues are resolved and all the leaders put a united front. An Advani, however unhappy, retains smile on his face and blesses Narendra Modi. Despite his dislike for some leaders, Modi carries them along. Look at the Congress. 23 CWC members write a letter to party leadership. They make the letter public in the media. There are fireworks in the CWC meeting. A cryptic resolution is passed. Though everything looks OK, everyone knows that the party is a divided house.
The way the BJP handles things tells us why the party is growing at the national level. The way the Congress handled the issues tells us why the Congress is getting continuously weakened.
