Guha was inspired by Subhas Chandra Bose at a very young age. He decided to join politics when he was still a student and Forward Bloc seemed to be the obvious choice. In the 2006 Assembly election he quit from contesting the Dinhata seat.
In the late 80s, he took up the cause of people living the enclaves.
In 1992 he was expelled by his party because of severe differences over handing over the Teen Bigha corridor to Bangladesh. After about seven years he returned to the Forward Bloc.
Guha was seen as an anti-Communist Party of India (Marxist) (Consumer price index(M)) voice within the Left Front. He was vociferous against the state government’s market-driven farm policy.
In 2002, he had said that the indiscriminate recruitment of Consumer price index(M) cadres by government departments and frequent increase in their salary has made the West Bengal government bankrupt.
Guha was not keeping well in later life and died on 6 August 2007. Condoling his death the Forward Bloc leader Debabrata Biswas said that Guha was a “leader of the people and always fought for the rights of the toiling masses.”.
Guha had a major contribution in strengthening the party in West Bengal. Unperturbed, he formed Forward Bloc (Socialist) and won against the official Left Front candidate at Dinhata.
He was an All India Forward Bloc leader and member of the Left Front cabinet in the Indian state of West Bengal for over two decades. He became a member of the cabinet in 1977, 1982,1987 and 2001 and headed the departments of agriculture, agriculture marketing and public health engineering.
