Congress remains a “big tent” party, committed to preserving India’s pluralism and conscious of the multiple identities and interests of India’s many peoples. The BJP, which accuses Congress of “appeasing” India’s minorities, hews to a staunchly Hindu-chauvinist line, and has received support from some of the most bigoted and intolerant sections of Indian society.
三个政治派别最大的不同在于他们是不同的阶层的代言人和传声筒。国大党是一个“大帐篷”政党，代表了印度大多数和多种利益阶层。人民党批评国大党“讨好”印度的少数民族，顽固坚持印度爱国联盟阵线，人民党受到印度社会一些顽固偏执势力的支持。
