In a surprising turn of events, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar submitted his resignation on Monday, citing health reasons. His sudden departure has generated intrigue and speculation among political circles, with Congress expressing concerns over the underlying reasons for his decision.
Dhankhar, known for his no-nonsense approach, had scheduled key meetings, including one with the Business Advisory Committee, casting doubt on the timing of his resignation. The opposition has called upon Prime Minister Modi to persuade Dhankhar to reconsider, highlighting the potential impact on both governance and the farming community.
While some, like CPI's P Sandosh Kumar, express uncertainty over the resignation's acceptance, others, including Kapil Sibal, view it as a definitive decision. Dhankhar's tenure was marked by clashes with the opposition and an attempted impeachment, further adding to the complexity of his sudden exit.
