According to reports, Dev Burman had tendered his resignation on Monday, following his differences with AICC general secretary in-charge of the Northeast Luizinho Faleiro.
Party sources said differences between Deb Burman and Faleiro were cropped up after the party Northeastern states in-charge asked the TPCC chief to withdraw his support to the petition.
