Meanwhile, the Sensex which was trading a whopping 300 points higher in trade until noon, gave up all gains and fell sharply as investors sold heavily into stocks after the AAP victory. AAP is not considered a very investor friendly party and worries that the huge loss in Delhi would force the government to resort to populist measures in the forthcoming Union Budget.
In fact, analysts warn that any populist measures in the Union Budget would see the markets fall in post the Union Budget.
