Breaking News: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's Sudden Resignation Sparks Political Uproar

In an unexpected political twist, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar tendered his resignation late Monday, citing health concerns. His resignation letter, submitted to President Droupadi Murmu, expressed gratitude for her support and stated that he was stepping down on his doctors' advice. However, the timing of the resignation — just as the Monsoon Session of Parliament commenced — has triggered intense political speculation and debate.Opposition parties, led by the Congress, are not accepting the health explanation at face value. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claimed to have spoken with Dhankhar hours before the resignation and found him to be in good health. Further controversy was fueled by the absence of BJP leaders JP Nadda and Kiren Rijiju from a key Business Advisory Committee meeting chaired by Dhankhar, raising questions about internal friction.Analysts note that tensions between Dhankhar and opposition MPs had been rising due to frequent suspensions and disagreements in the Rajya Sabha, where he served as Chairman. Congress MP Pramod Tiwari has urged Dhankhar to reconsider his decision.With Parliament now in session, the opposition is expected to mount strong demands for clarity from the government, suggesting that the resignation may be politically motivated rather than purely medical.
