Jagdeep Dhankhar: The Reluctant Politician's Eventful Journey

Jagdeep Dhankhar, Vice President of India, famously described himself as a 'reluctant politician' before taking on significant challenges during his tenure. His tenure was marked by daily showdowns with the judiciary and opposition in the Rajya Sabha, fostering a tumultuous political journey.

Following unexpected developments in the Rajya Sabha, Dhankhar resigned nearly two years before his tenure concluded, citing health concerns. His resignation came after handling a controversial opposition motion against Justice Yashwant Varma.

Born in Rajasthan and educated in law, Dhankhar's career spans various political affiliations. He made his mark as a champion for farmers and the Jat community, and served as Governor of West Bengal, a position marked by confrontations with the state's ruling party.
