Content about September 2017 article

An editor who is possibly using multiple IP addresses is trying to add this content [1]. I would like to know the views of other editors whether they agree with adding this. I have reverted the content in the meantime.--DreamLinker (talk) 01:47, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't add This is an minor event and other politicians have written articles before. There has been no continuing coverage over this. The sources are also not reliable as it included social media posts. The content itself doesn't follow NPOV.--DreamLinker (talk) 01:47, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a minor Event I have added it to 'Allegations' section. Don't judge yourself whether it is minor or not. Let people judge and please stop edit warring. I am joker (talk) 19:50, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was he ever a Lok Sabha member?

I see the following links in the footer: - 13th Lok Sabha members - 12th Lok Sabha members - 15th Lok Sabha members - Lok Sabha members from Jharkhand

When I clicked into the first 3 links, his name is not in any of those lists. In which case his name shouldn't appear in the 4th link either (it does).

It seems he was never a Lok Sabha member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.159.196.139 (talk) 02:37, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His political affiliation is mentioned (in the Template) as UPA from 2022 - present. This is incorrect information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S.guntur (talk • contribs) 22:14, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He is the nominee of the joint Opposition Parties for the Presidential Election in July, 2022. S.guntur (talk) 22:48, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
