Judging by this article and others, "alt-right" seems to be turning into another way of saying "politics I don't like and wish weren't taken seriously" - not that it ever referred to any particularly coherent movement in the first place, but those in the media can't seem to further dilute the label quickly enough, and even those who formerly adopted it seem to be starting to move away.

As for the actual subject matter, I don't know enough about India's domestic politics to comment - it's about all I can do most days to keep up with those of my own nation. But, as general bromides go, I think one might do worse than the suggestion that labeling any political change or strain one finds unsatisfactory as "fascist" does neither oneself nor anyone else any good - it increases blood pressure and strains credibility.
