Someone asked me this question and I sarcastically said "Mera toh mood swing hota rehta hai. Aaj Modi kal Rahul". Woh bhi hass ke chala gaya.

Just say you don't keep up with Politics. Works for me, always!

Unless they already know that you keep up with Politics. In that case, just mention that you haven't done research on it yet so you haven't formed an opinion about it yet.
