Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: He served as the very first District President of the BJP's Siliguri Organizational District.
A key highlight of his political career—and a testament to his role as a close associate of Syama Prasad—is that he was one of the companions on the historic Kashmir journey undertaken by the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, *Bharat Kesari* Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
He played a pivotal role in strengthening the party's foundational organizational base in North Bengal.
In May 2026, at the swearing-in ceremony of Suvendu Adhikari held in Kolkata (specifically at the Brigade Parade Ground), India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his respects to this 97-year-old veteran public leader by touching his feet in reverence and embracing him.
