He participated in an election campaign during an assembly bye-election in 1954, while he was still in school. Though he was recommended for Party in 1957, he was not granted a position until 1958 due to the minimum age requirement being 18 years old. He participated in the movement against Bengal-Bihar merger in 1956 as well as the food movement in 1959, and was imprisoned in 1958.<ref>{{cite web | last = West Bengal State Committee | first = CPI (M) | title = Com.
