The person was not elected as a parliamentarian or a legislator. Even, 23 sources make it WP:REFBOMB. Some about its candidacy, some are self published etc. It fails WP:GNG, WP:NPOL or other criteria. S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 19:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:NPOL since the subject has never won any national or state level elections. --DBig Xrayᗙ 05:10, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak keep~~ per WP:NPOL, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:SOAP. Party officials are not automatically notable, but there is some coverage about this national, major party official. I am concerned that we avoid becoming a soap-box. Bearian (talk) 20:01, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bearian, BJP has 12 Vice presidents, 8 National Joint Secretaries, 3 Jt. Gen. Secretary, 13 National Secretary. And in that pecking order. Although the name sounds like a big Kahuna, this is a lower post in the ranking. May I request you to review your opinion. DBig Xrayᗙ 20:14, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian Thanks for your comment. The sources present here are

First 10 are about president of BJP's state unit. (1, 3, 10 self published; 2, 4, 5 about sworning as BJP state unit president; 6, 7, 8, 9 interview and others). These made the article WP:REFBOMB.
The sources present here in political career are typical election type coverage of subcontinental newspaper.
The first source of controversy are not encyclopedic according to me. A person's relatives can support any party why he/she will face criticism for this? And the last sources about his controversies about his comment which are not enough for our notability guideline. I hope you will change your stand!S. M.
