What is the difference between the Congress and the BJP? Well! The difference lies in the speed with which key decisions are taken. The recent incidents in Manipur are the case in point.
The BJP-led government in Manipur became shaky with a key alliance partner withdrawing the support. The Congress had a fair chance of forming the Government. This would have been seen as a revenge to the BJP toppling Congress governments in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. The Manipur unit of the Congress Party had sent message after message to Delhi to help them topple the BJP government. But, Manipur affairs incharge Gaurav Gogoi did not reply as he was busy with West Bengal affairs. There was no response even from Delhi. The leadership in Delhi reacted very late. By that time, the BJP has moved in quickly and patched up the differences between the alliance partners and the BJP.
This is the difference between the BJP and the Congress. By the time the Congress has reacted, the BJP has mopped up its operations and saved its government in Manipur. The state may be small, but the party was quick to act, unlike the Congress.
