Das and the other RCPI legislator M. Mokshed Ali were expelled from RCPI by party general secretary Sudhindranath Kumar in July 1969 for "anti-Party and anti-UF activities". [10] [11] [12] The expulsion provoked a split in RCPI, with Anadi Das leading his own RCPI faction. [13] Ahead of the 1971 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election the RCPI (Anadi Das group) joined the Communist Party of India-led Eight Party Coalition. [14] Das ran on an independent ticket in Howrah Central, against Kumar. [15] Das finished in fourth place with 2,711 votes (8.55%). [15]

Das' faction later joined the S.N. Tagore-led RCPI faction. [16] After the death of Tagore, RCPI (S.N. Tagore group) was split with Das leading one of the factions. [16]
