The sudden popularity of India’s anti-graft Aam Aadmi Party is prompting concern at companies such as Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. that this year’s general election will fail to create a stable government.
Arvind Kejriwal’s one-year-old Aam Aadmi plans to contest as many as 300 seats after taking power in the national capital last month, according to senior party leader Yogendra Yadav. That threatens to reduce the chances of the ruling Congress Party or main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party emerging with a majority in the election, which is due by May.
