Sorry, some issues here. The prose in this article has some problems: "foreign", for instance, assumes an Indian perspective for the reader, and there are many grammatical errors, and a reference error. More importantly, I'm not sure the cited source is enough for the statement in question. "reported for" could mean he was a correspondent on a special report, or even that they featured one of his stories after it was published elsewhere. Also rediff is not known to be the best of sources. There are also numerous statements that are problematic vis a vis sourcing. this does not support the entire statement it is used for; this contradicts the lede, which says he was elected in 2011. The article is also barely over the threshold of 1500 prose characters, and it is clear that the prose has been stretched a bit. If I were to copy-edit this and remove repetition and puffery, it would not clear the 1500 bar. And while he clears WP:NPOL, I'm not a fan of featuring obscure politicians at DYK; we had a string of Mexican politicians, too, for whom finding a hooky hook is quite impossible.

- @Royroydeb: It has been ten days without a response from you. Do you wish to see this through? Vanamonde (talk) 14:20, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Vanamonde93: Since, I am not active these days, I request you to give a list of suggestions for this article. I have already requested for copyedit. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:23, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I do not have the time at the moment to go into this in detail. Vanamonde (talk) 06:32, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
This needs work by the nominator, not a new reviewer, and it has all of the significant issues noted by Vanamonde. Since the nominator, RRD13, has not been able to do them in over a month, the nomination is being marked for closure as unsuccessful. RRD13 has been around DYK long enough to know what is required.
