In 2021 assembly election, he was deprived of party’s ticket and then he contested from Nowboicha LAC once again as an independent candidate. He lost that election too. Later BJP expelled him from the party because of contesting in the election independently. However, he came back to the party some days back. He is survived by his wife along with a son and a daughter. His followers thronged at his residence after the news of his demise had spread.
