Leading up to the resignation, Dhankhar had effectively presided over a Rajya Sabha session and even handled an important matter involving an impeachment notice against a high court judge. Dhankhar has been a prominent political figure since joining the BJP in 2003 and previously served as the governor of West Bengal, often at odds with the state government. His health issues, including a previous angioplasty, have been known, but the timing and circumstances of his resignation have left many scratching their heads.
Opposition leaders voiced their surprise, insinuating that there may be deeper issues at play. MPs remarked that the resignation lacked prior discussion and that if health was the primary concern, it could have been communicated earlier. As Dhankhar steps down, political analysts anticipate that the responsibilities of the vice president will now fall to the deputy chairperson of the Rajya Sabha or another appointee from the president's office.
The political ramifications of this unexpected development are yet to unfold as speculation continues to swirl around Dhankhar's abrupt decision.
