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.
2024 manifesto: Mahalakshmi cash transfer, a justiciable right to healthcare, MGNREGA at ₹400 and an urban employment guarantee
Promises a legal MSP guarantee and labour-code review, while claiming 1991 as its own achievement and pledging a simplified single-rate GST
2024 manifesto commits to a national socio-economic caste census, a law removing the 50% cap, and reservation in firms taking public land and contracts — a hard turn from Nehru's Congress
Opposes CAA-NRC and the Waqf Amendment and defends the Places of Worship Act, hedged by temple-yatra positioning and the Shah Bano legacy
Manifesto promises review of UAPA, PMLA and sedition and restoration of judicial independence — from the party of the Emergency, AFSPA's continuation and Section 66A
The only major manifesto promising legal civil unions for same-sex couples, plus targets on women's workforce participation
'Union of States' doctrine, opposition to ONOE, higher untied devolution and Article 356 restraint — from the party that invented Centre-state coercion
And where do you stand?
Answer the same trade-offs yourself and get your seven readings, on the scales you just read.
