In politics today
Kangana Ranaut
BJP
Bollywood star turned BJP MP for Mandi since 2024. 'Emergency', the film she wrote, directed and starred in, indicts Indira Gandhi and Khalistani militancy; a 2024 Gandhi Jayanti post that 'the country doesn't have fathers, only sons' drew 'Godse ideology' accusations and a rare rebuke from her own party.
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.
No welfare record of her own; echoes the government's free-ration and 'labharthi' delivery framing from the backbenches
Called in 2024 for reviving the three farm laws repealed in 2021 — a deregulatory position on agricultural markets she retracted within days under her own party's pressure, saying she was 'not just an artiste but a BJP member'
No caste-policy record or floor votes on quotas
Wrote, directed and starred in 'Emergency' (2024), her own film indicting Indira Gandhi and linking the Khalistan movement to the farmers' protest, which she called financed by 'anti-national' forces; on 2 October 2024 — Gandhi Jayanti — posted on Instagram that 'the country doesn't have fathers, only sons,' which BJP's own Manoranjan Kalia and Congress's Supriya Shrinate both read as echoing Nathuram Godse's ideology, drawing a rare public rebuke from her own party
Dismissed protesting farmers as paid actors and 'anti-national' during the 2020-21 agitation, and has consistently cheered muscular anti-terror and anti-protest state action without qualification
Public commentary defending Indian family and generational values, including a 2025-26 remark on 'Generation Z' that drew criticism even from her own party's Himachal unit, alongside a personal brand built on an otherwise unconventional, high-profile single life
Has accused the Himachal Congress state government of neglect after the 2023 floods and favours the Centre in that framing, without a stated position on devolution or Governors
