In politics today
Narendra Modi
BJP
Prime Minister since 2014. Targeted delivery welfare — free grain, gas, housing — beside a strong centre and an explicit Hindu-nationalist programme: Article 370 gone, CAA, Ram Mandir.
Furthest from the middle on Nation, toward Majoritarian.
Where they stand
Narendra Modi on each of the seven scales, from one pole to the other.

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.
PMGKAY free grain for 80 crore extended to 2028, Ujjwala, PM Awas, Jal Jeevan — but targeted 'labharthi' design, the 2022 'revdi culture' speech, and squeezed MGNREGA allocations
Air India sale, LIC IPO, 2019 corporate tax cut to 22%, four labour codes — against PLI subsidies, rising tariffs since 2017, the 2021 farm-law repeal and no bank privatisation
Kept all caste quotas and restored the SC/ST Act in 2018, but added the income-based EWS 10%, refuses a national caste census, and backed the 2025 Waqf Amendment and AMU minority-status challenge
Article 370 abrogation, CAA 2019, Ram Mandir consecration as head of state, 2024 'infiltrators' speech — stops short of endorsing Hindu Rashtra or a national cow-slaughter ban
2019 UAPA amendment naming individuals as terrorists, PMLA expansion, the 550-day J&K shutdown, IT Rules 2021, Bhima Koregaon detentions
Union government opposed same-sex marriage in the Supreme Court as an 'urban elitist concept'; OTT certification rules; BJP-state love-jihad and live-in registration laws — offset by triple talaq criminalisation
GST rate-setting centralisation, cesses shrinking the divisible pool, ONOE bill 2024, ED/CBI against opposition states, Governors in Kerala and Tamil Nadu
And where do you stand?
Answer the same trade-offs yourself and get your seven readings, on the scales you just read.
