Compare parties
Count of recorded actions while in charge. A count, not a measure of severity.
Each action counts for the party in power where it happened, on that date. Delhi Police, President’s Rule and territories run by the Centre count for the party ruling the Centre. Courts and commissions count for no one. Parties with more years in power and more documented cases have higher numbers. How counts work
