His lasting contribution was the removal of all statutes of "guardians and rulers" of the British Indian empire from public places in [[Kolkata]]. However, he appreciated the artistic value of many of them and stored them in some other public places not in the public view. He was called the ''[[Gherao]]'' minister<ref name=adefiantrebel/> and was recognised both by his friends and detractors as a 'scrupulously honest minister and a firebrand labour leader with incendiary oratorical skill'.<ref name=adefiantrebel1/>

He was a member of the [[Central Committee]] of the SUCI and the first MLA of the party.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/calcutta-times/how-much-do-you-know-about-suci/articleshow/524909383.cms How much do you know about SUCI]</ref>
