Jagdeep Dhankhar, the Vice President, has resigned citing health reasons, causing mixed reactions from government and opposition circles. His acceptance of an opposition motion against Justice Yashwant Varma led to a no-confidence threat from the NDA, resulting in his swift departure.
Political circles are now abuzz with discussions about his successor, as Dhankhar appears to be left isolated following the controversial decision.
Delhi Reacts to Dhankhar’s Resignation
Just three days after his sudden resignation, political activities in Delhi seem to have returned to normal. While the government and opposition engage in debates over various issues, the absence of the former Rajya Sabha chairman is not lamented much.
Speculations for Dhankhar’s Replacement
The anger in the government towards Dhankhar for his support of opposition motions has shifted to discussions on who will be the next Vice President. The opposition, while using this incident to challenge the government, does not appear sorrowful over his unexpected departure, leaving Dhankhar in a political limbo.
Rahul Gandhi and others at an INDIA bloc meeting reportedly confronted Dhankhar for his alleged biased behavior during his tenure. As discussions heat up over electoral roll revisions in Bihar, the former VP’s resignation seems to be low on the Parliament’s agenda.
