In politics today
Himanta Biswa Sarma
BJP
Assam Chief Minister since 2021 and the BJP's sharpest majoritarian voice outside Delhi — a Congress minister until 2015. Mass cash transfers to women alongside a Uniform Civil Code, a public beef ban, bulldozer evictions and open hostility to Bengali-origin Muslims.
Furthest from the middle on Nation, toward Majoritarian.

The record, axis by axis
Every placement is scored on what was said and done — manifestos, legislation, the governing record — and calibrated against the same trade-offs the quiz asks about.
Orunodoi 3.0 pays about 38 lakh women ₹1,250 a month, ₹410 crore monthly, with ₹9,000 lump sums to 40 lakh women before the April 2026 poll — targeted, means-tested delivery rather than universal entitlement
Advantage Assam 2.0 in February 2025, the Tata semiconductor plant at Jagiroad and a ₹30,000 crore Tata electronics commitment — courted alongside heavy state spending and a rising debt burden
Kept every quota and the 2026 UCC exempts Scheduled Tribes outright, but he abolished the state-run madrassas in 2020 and keeps Bengali-origin Muslims outside the remedy frame; his party accepted caste enumeration only in April 2025
Uniform Civil Code passed May 2026, beef banned in hotels and public places in December 2024, the Muslim marriage registration Act repealed, 25,000 acres cleared by eviction, and a June 2025 demand to delete 'secular' and 'socialist' from the Preamble
The Supreme Court in May 2025 ordered a probe into 171 police encounters since 2021; eviction bulldozers took 1,400 families in Dhubri in July 2025 alone; in April 2026 he described 'pushback' of migrants into Bangladesh on camera
The 2026 UCC jails polygamy for up to seven years, makes live-in registration compulsory and lets the state dismiss employees with two wives; beef consumption barred in restaurants and at public festivals
Centre-aligned throughout: no dispute with Delhi over funds, delimitation or central legislation, and he presents Assam as the NDA's model implementing state
And where do you stand?
Answer the same trade-offs yourself and get your seven readings, on the scales you just read.
