Keep: The BJP have never won in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK and the other Dravidian party have held rule. Nonetheless, they hold office in many union states and territories in India. The following from the Bharatiya Janata Party page:

Seats in State Legislative Assemblies: 1,301 / 4,033

Seats in State Legislative Councils: 94 / 426

Number of states and union territories in government: 18 / 31 (currently 28 states and 3 union territories)

Admittedly Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, but this party currently holds national government in India. Keep. --Whiteguru (talk) 07:23, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bharatiya Janata Party already has a page due to the reasons you mentioned. All the state branch do not become notable due to it. SUN EYE makes a good point about WP:BRANCH--Walrus Ji (talk) 20:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Clearly fails WP:BRANCH. BJP is not a well performing party in Tamil Nadu and the article can be recreated if the party makes any notable performances in the state. We don't have articles for many states including Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra where BJP had performed very well. See State units of the Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP has zero seats in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and the state legislative assembly. Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. - SUN EYE 1 12:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This branch of the party has zero seats, nor is it likely to win seats. The page is nothing more than a promo page for the office bearers. I am open to redirect this to Bharatiya Janata Party. Walrus Ji (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
