In 2016, he was one of the six MLAs from Indian National Congress who joined All India Trinamool Congress, due to unhappiness towards party because of allying Communist Party of India (Marxist) in 2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.[4]
In August 2017, he joined Bharatiya Janata Party after they cross voted against the party lines in 2017 Indian presidential election.[5]
In the 2018 election he stood from Badharghat again as BJP Candidate against CPI (M) candidate Jharna Das.
