Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jarbom Gamlin has submitted his resignation to the Congress leadership.
 
The party has begun the exercise of finding a suitable successor for filling up the post. 
 
Party sources said Mr Gamlin had sent his resignation last night and the Congress' core committee was considering the issue. 
 
As many as 42 Congress MLAs have supported the state party president Nabam Tuki to succeed Mr Gamlin as the next Chief Minister. Mr Tuki is also believed to have the support of two Independent MLAs.
 
The leadership crisis in Arunachal aggravated when Mr Gamlin was accused of getting a senior state minister, Chowma Mein, abducted allegedly at gunpoint, the sources said.
