Complete answer:
The table given below shows how was the politics of the Radicals within the Congress different from that of the Moderates :-

Radicals within the Congress	Moderates within the Congress
The radicals opposed the moderate’s ‘policy of petitions’ as well as ‘resolutions’.	The moderates demanded self-government or Swaraj within the British Empire.
They had laid stress over self-reliance as well as Constructive work.	Their entire attitude was of reconciliation but not confrontation.
Radicals had demanded ‘Swaraj’ from the British rule.	They would not perform any kind of act that will off offend the British rulers.
The extremists advocated the radical methods of strikes and boycott for the fulfillment of their demands.	Their demands were presented in front of the Britishers by the means of meetings, resolutions or speeches.

Note: Within the fight for swaraj, the radicals had advocated mass mobilisation as well as boycott of British institutions and goods. Few individuals also started to suggest that “revolutionary violence” would be significant in order to overthrow British rule. On the other hand, Moderates, wanted to follow the rules, the laws and the order which was posed by the British. They had followed the ‘practise of prayers’ which the radicals had totally opposed.
