• Delete. The subject's chief claim to significance is having been a candidate in an election. WP:POLITICIAN says "being ... an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability". I also checked for evidence of satisfying the general notability guidelines, and found none. As for the cited sources, one is an article about the political party that Dattaram B Desai belongs to, and does not mention him; another is an interview with him about his political campaign: effectively a platform for him to publicise his candidature; the other is now a dead link but it was on the web site of the party that he belongs to, and from its URL was merely a listing of him as one of their candidates.
