Let us tell you that the 14th Vice President of the country, Jagdeep Dhankhar, suddenly resigned from his post on the night of 21 July. The tenure of 74-year-old Dhankhar was till 10 August 2027. He had said in a program on July 10, 'If God is pleased, I will retire in August 2027.
Neither the political pundits nor the opposition are digesting the fact of resigning citing health reasons. During the proceedings of Parliament, the relationship between the opposition and Jagdeep Dhankhar was quite bitter. The opposition has even called Dhankhar a dictator, headmaster, government spokesperson. Despite this, it is raising questions on his sudden resignation.
The first Vice President of the country against whom impeachment was brought
In the history of 72 years of parliamentary democracy in the country, Dhankhar was the first Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President against whom an impeachment motion was brought in December 2024. Which was later rejected due to technical reasons. The opposition had been accusing Dhankhar of bias. The opposition claimed that he only suppresses the voice of the opposition and the questions raised by their MPs. If we look at Dhankhar's previous tenure, he held many important posts, but he could not see his tenure completed. The only exception is his five years as a one-time MLA.
