Indian vice president’s resignation sparks political speculation

The sudden resignation of the Vice President of India, Jajdib Dankhar, on Monday night, has spoken of what paid this step.

Dhankar, who is also the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Parliament, announced his resignation on the first day of the monsoons, pointing to health concerns.

The BJP, who nominated him for the position, did not comment on his resignation.

But many opposition leaders expressed their surprise at this step, as one of the deputy said that there is more than “meets the eye.”

Dhankhar, 74, took office in August 2022, when his term was operated until 2027.

On Monday, Dankar Rajia Sebha – the upper session – was divided into new members.

He also received an accountability against the Yashwant Varma Judge, signed by more than 50 deputies, after the discovery of the criticism at the judge’s house earlier this year. Judge Pharma denied any violations by him or his family.

The official Dhankhar schedule was included to visit the western city of Jaipur on Wednesday as Vice President.

However, on Monday evening, he submitted the resignation letter to President Dubai Mirmo, saying that he wanted to “give priority to health care and abide by medical advice.”

Dancar said in the letter: “It was an honor and satisfaction to watch and participate in the wonderful economic progress in India and unprecedented lower development during this important period. It was the service in this transformational age from our nation’s history a real honor,” Dancar said in the letter.

The sudden move sent ripples across political circles, with some clarifying that they spoke to Dancar just hours before his resignation.

“What is happening in this government?” Anand Dobobi, a UBT spokesman.

“This decision came without an appropriate consultation or discussion. If the health is anxiety, the resignation was submitted a few days before the session or even after that,” he said.

Manish Tawary, a deputy of the main Congress Party in India, described the move as “completely unexpected.”

“There is no doubt that Mr. Dankhahar should give a higher priority to his health,” he said.

“But it is clear that there is much more for its unexpected resignation from adhering to the eye.”

Jeram Ramish, another deputy of Congress, called Dankar’s “unprecedented” resignation.

He also indicated that there were no ministers from a consultative committee meeting chaired by Dankar, who was supposed to happen on Monday afternoon.

Ramish said that Dhankar was not personally aware of their absence and took “umbrage” before the meeting on Tuesday rescheduled.

He added: “The resignation of Jagdib Dankar is talking about him. She also talks badly about those who elected him as a vice president in the first place.”

Dhankar, the profession lawyer, entered politics for the first time as a deputy from the JHUNJHUNU seat in Rajasthan in 1989.

In 2003, he joined the Bharatia Jatata Party and went to the party’s legal administration. In 2019, he was appointed governor of Western Bengal, where he was often on the heads of Loghburs with the state government, run by the Trainamol Congress Party.

He resigned from a ruler in 2022 after he was nominated by the Bharatia Gatana Party as vice president.

Dhankhar underwent the blood vessels in Delhi in March, but he quickly resumed his duties and remained active in Parliament.

With the seat of the Vice President is now vacant, his responsibilities are likely to be dealt with by Vice President of Rajya Sabha or any other member appointed by the president.
