Dev was seen actively working towards building the TMC’s organisation in Tripura where the party is aiming to keep its footprint.

In her first press conference as a TMC member, Dev had said, "I have joined the TMC without any conditions whatsoever. It is because when a new relationship is built, it can be fostered only on trust and I have complete faith in Mamata Didi."

She said, "It is not yet 24 hours that I have joined TMC but as I have travelled through the length and breadth of West Bengal, I am extremely inspired by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's vision and development in Bengal."
