Career
Banerjee is a member of the All India Trinamool Congress and has held leadership roles within the party’s youth wing. In 2011 he became president of the All India Trinamool Yuva (the party’s youth organization). He entered national politics in 2014 when he was elected to the 16th Lok Sabha representing the Diamond Harbour constituency in West Bengal. During that term he served on parliamentary committees including the Standing Committee on Commerce and consultative bodies tied to the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Affairs. He later joined the Railway Convention Committee.

In the 2019 general election he retained the Diamond Harbour seat, winning by a large margin. He again won the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha seat in 2024.
