Dev, who was one of the national spokespersons of the grand-old party and its women's wing chief, switched over to the Mamata Banerjee-led camp last month.
She has been assigned the job of looking after the party's functioning in Assam and Tripura.
The Election Commission of India last week had announced bypolls for six vacant Rajya Sabha seats - one seat from Assam, one from West Bengal, two from Tamil Nadu, one from Madhya Pradesh and one from Maharashtra on 4 October. The Bengal seat fell vacant after Manas Bhuyan decided to contest the assembly election.
