Investors are concerned that the government will be held back from implementing major economic reforms without a substantial victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling BJP. They suggest that the equity options market expects stocks to move — up or down — by 4.5% on the first trading day after polls close.
"What's more, the BJP performed well in state elections at the end of last year.
