ABP News Special Coverage: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s Sudden Resignation Sparks Political Storm

In a dramatic turn of events, India’s 14th Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar submitted his resignation on Monday evening, citing health concerns. The resignation letter was addressed to President Droupadi Murmu, stating that the decision was made based on doctors’ advice and would take immediate effect. However, the timing and manner of the resignation—just as the Monsoon Session of Parliament commenced—have ignited major political speculation and controversy.Notably, opposition leaders like Congress’ Jairam Ramesh are questioning the official narrative. Ramesh claims he spoke to Dhankhar just hours before the resignation and saw no indication of health issues. He also pointed to an important meeting scheduled for Monday at 4:30 PM, where two key BJP figures—Party President J.P. Nadda and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju—failed to show up without prior notice, even though they were present in Parliament. This unexplained absence raised eyebrows and preceded Dhankhar postponing the meeting to Tuesday—a day he never reached politically.Senior journalist Vijay Trivedi, speaking on ABP News, highlighted that no Vice President in India's history has resigned purely on medical grounds, further fueling speculation. As the day unfolds, questions mount over whether health was the true reason or if a deeper political rift lies beneath the surface.
