Jagdeep Dhankhar’s Resignation Creates Political Waves
Jagdeep Dhankhar’s sudden resignation from the Vice President post due to health issues has stirred reactions from both government and opposition. His controversial decision to accept an opposition motion against Justice Yashwant Varma has led to a swift exit amid a no-confidence threat from NDA.
In the political arena, discussions now revolve around his successor, leaving Dhankhar seemingly isolated post the contentious move.
New Delhi Scene
Just days after his resignation, New Delhi is already witnessing the regular political back-and-forth. The absence of the previous Rajya Sabha chairman seems to have had little impact as activity continues with debates and disruptions in Parliament.
The political focus has shifted from the backlash Dhankhar faced for siding with the opposition on Justice Varma’s motion to speculation over the next Vice President.
While the opposition uses the episode to put pressure on the government, there is no mourning over Dhankhar’s sudden departure, leaving him politically stranded.
NDA Stand
The NDA parties have maintained silence on Dhankhar’s resignation, with PM Narendra Modi’s brief well-wishing post standing out. Government officials are now making arrangements to relocate Dhankhar.
The events preceding his resignation indicate that he felt compelled to quit, given the looming no-confidence motion from BJP and its allies following his decision to support the opposition’s call against Justice Varma.
