 * Keep - recent discussions, Articles for deletion/Bharatiya Janata Party, Rajasthan, Articles for deletion/Bharatiya Janata Party, Karnataka. BJP polled over 23 million votes in West Bengal in the last election, so GNG is hardly a valid deletion argument. --Soman (talk) 12:41, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep -The party has notable presence in West Bengal Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha from West Bengal. Besides the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee has its separate article.Manasbose (talk) 14:41,21 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - I favor the inclusion of all articles about political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections on an automatic basis per the WP Policy of Ignore All Rules (Use Common Sense to Improve the Encyclopedia).

 * Keep Second largest political party in the state with 40.25% votes in last Loksabha elections. There are significant coverage during the elections and after that to pass WP:GNG but the first statement is good enough for the notability. - The9Man  ( Talk ) 14:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
