Political career

[edit | edit source]

In 2016, he was one of the six MLAs from Indian National Congress who joined Trinamool Congress, due to unhappiness with the party because of allying with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in the 2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.[5]

On 23 December 2016, Saha demanded that Tripura Forest and Rural development Minister Naresh Jamatia (CPI-M) be removed over a sex scandal that Jamatia was allegedly involved in.[6]

In August 2017, he was one of the six MLAs from Trinamool Congress who joined Bharatiya Janata Party.[7] In 2022 he rejoined Indian National Congress.
