Delete: This is effectively an unsourced WP:BLP as none of the references appear to mention the subject. My searches are finding no evidence that the subject is notable, nor is providing IT support for a political party or any other organisation inherently notable. Fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:GNG. (Note that there is a similarly named assembly member, formerly of the Aam Aadmi Party, so searches return false positives.) AllyD (talk) 16:44, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Working on a political party's IT team is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia in the absence of enough reliable source coverage about him to clear WP:GNG for it — but the sources shown here don't build that case, as not a single one of them even namechecks Prakash's existence at all, let alone being about him. Also, I can't prove it outright but this is pinging my conflict of interest radar as an article that was most likely created by either Prakash himself or a coworker of his.
