Rajnath Singh said in Lucknow that the Congress and its allies want Bangladesh-style regime change and are using youth energy to spread anarchy. Kapil Sibal replied on X that people, not the Congress, want change, and accused the government of capturing institutions and manipulating voter lists.
Why it matters: The exchange shows how the government and opposition are framing the protests over alleged electoral irregularities and the voter list, which affect every voter.
Why it matters: How India's voter rolls are revised decides who can vote in 2027; the dispute has moved from the Election Commission to the courts, the streets and diplomacy.
Based on 5 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 2 of 15 (Aaj Tak, Republic). Most of India’s largest outlets, including NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and Indian Express, block our reader in this prototype, so their coverage is missing here. The launch pipeline reads their public feeds.
Critical outlets give most space to Sibal and Congress voices; the neutral wire report quotes both Singh and Sibal; no outlet is supportive of the government.
Why: Leads with Sibal's attack and Bhushan's endorsement; Rajnath's 'anarchy' charge is countered, and linked pieces use loaded phrasing. Touches civil liberties, dissent and voter-list access, tilting left.
Why: Mostly Congress voices attacking govt over alleged voter-list manipulation and institutional capture; Rajnath's charge is relayed briefly. Mild civil-liberties and electoral-access framing, but largely partisan, so stance carries it.
Why: Mostly opposition voices rebut Rajnath Singh's 'regime change' charge, stressing democratic dissent and civil liberties. Little policy content; the BJP side gets one line, so stance is critical but ideology sits near centre.
Why: Reports a spat between Sibal and Rajnath Singh with both sides quoted. Touches civil liberties and institutional integrity lightly. Headline leans on Sibal's charges, but the body is balanced, so it stays near centre.
Why: Gives most space to BJP leaders' 'Bangladesh-style regime change' and 'collusion with foreign powers' charges. Congress gets a brief rebuttal. Echoes the 'anti-national' framing of critics and dissent.
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:
| Wires and the top 20 outlets | checked every 5 minutes |
| All other outlets | checked every 15 minutes |
| New story | goes up at 3 articles from 2 or more outlets, marked Limited coverage |
| Live stories | new articles added every 15 minutes; summary rewritten at most hourly |
| Home page order | every 15 minutes |
New facts go into a dated update log at the top of the story. New articles carry an “Added” tag. If a note or list changes, the earlier version stays viewable.
A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing. Each story shows how many of India’s 15 largest outlets we read. The launch pipeline will read outlets’ public feeds, TV transcripts and Hindi articles.
