Shatarup Ghosh's political debut was through the student movement. From an ordinary worker of the Students Federation of India (SFI), today, with the strength of his eloquence and organizational skills, he is one of the most important members of the CPI(M) State Committee. He first created a stir in state politics by contesting as the youngest candidate of the Left Front from the Kasba constituency in Kolkata in the 2011 assembly elections at the age of just 25. Later, the party continued to rely on him in the 2016 and 2021 elections as well.
