Unraveling the Resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar

The Congress party has expressed skepticism over Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's abrupt resignation, attributing motives beyond the purported health reasons. Skepticism around the political undercurrents follows the unexpected absence of prominent Union ministers from a critical committee session.

Amidst speculation, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh noted Dhankhar's commitment to norms and accountability had earned him a reputation of integrity, yet fueled circumstances leading to his decision. His departure signals potential discord within the political hierarchy and challenges faced in maintaining protocol.

Despite Dhankhar's significant contributions to farmers' welfare and calls for judicial accountability, his sudden exit has surprised many, prompting calls from Congress leaders urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and possibly avert his departure. Dhankhar's resignation marks a pivotal moment in India's political landscape.
