Keep. While the article is poorly written enough that I can easily see how somebody could get a very mistaken impression of what notability claim it's actually making, he actually has held an WP:NPOL-passing office: he represented Azamgarh in the Lok Sabha (the Parliament of India) from 1996 to 1998, from 1999 to 2008 and from 2009 to 2014. It needs some improvement, yes, but the notability and sourceability are there. Bearcat (talk) 18:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Bearcat, passes WP:NPOL. SportingFlyer talk 06:40, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
