Currently, he is the councillor of ward no. 20 of Kolkata Municipal Corporation. In the K.M.C election 2010, he was chosen as the Left Front's mayoral candidate. After the Left Front lost the election to the Trinamool Congress, the CPI(M) leadership[clarification needed] denied him the post of the Leader of the Opposition and former CPI(M) MLA and councillor Rupa Bagchi took office as the leader of the opposition.[citation needed]
