You can read a blog post from the dude who started that site here: https://rushabh-mehta.medium.com/starting-a-new-political-party-28a2e70cc8c3 I didn't spot any huge red flags, but I didn't dig too deep (nor do I know the first thing about Indian politics).

@sailor_sega_saturn @hrrrngh A few of these have sprung up after Five Star Movement got popular in Italy. These political descendants have been real quiet after the drama flared up. Our local instance (Movement Now) has one MP.
Ahh, Movement Now. The vanity hobby horse of one Hjallis Harkimo, best known for playing Donald Trump's role in the second season of the Finnish version of The Apprentice, as well as selling half a hockey team and the arena he built to Russian oligarchs.
