Political Underpinnings: The Resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar

Gaurav Gogoi, Deputy Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's social media comments on Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation illustrate political undertones behind the decision. Dhankhar resigned citing health reasons, sending his notice to President Droupadi Murmu, leaving many questioning the true motivations.

Dhankhar's departure sparked speculation beyond the stated health concerns, especially since the development followed a series of unexpected Rajya Sabha events. While the government appeared taken aback and reluctant, the Congress argued that reasons for his resignation reached further than publicly acknowledged.

Interestingly, the ruling alliance refrained from the customary high praise for Dhankhar, leading many to believe his exit might align favorably with government interests. However, opposition parties, including those who previously sought his impeachment, had positive remarks for the outgoing Vice President.
