Revelations Surrounding Jagdeep Dhankhar's Resignation as Vice President

Since Jagdeep Dhankhar stepped down as the Vice President of India, numerous stories have emerged. A significant revelation has surfaced through various sources indicating that Dhankhar had presented three demands to the government, all of which were rejected by the Modi administration. The situation escalated to the point where he felt compelled to resign. Following his resignation, his office was locked, and he received a notice to vacate his government residence. Although he cited health reasons, this justification now seems questionable given the rising tensions between him and the government. The nature of his demands may surprise many, and there are speculations that Dhankhar could follow in the footsteps of former Vice President Satypal Malik. Reports suggest that the government possesses files related to Dhankhar that might be disclosed in the coming months.

After a year in office, Jagdeep Dhankhar initiated the recruitment of relatives in his office and on Parliament TV, leading to allegations of controversy. Tensions between Dhankhar and the government became particularly evident during the visit of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance to India. Sources claim that Dhankhar insisted on meeting Vance, asserting his position as Vice President and wanting to hold a high-level meeting with him.

In April, when U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance visited India with his family, he met with Prime Minister Modi. However, Dhankhar was adamant about meeting Vance, claiming that as Vice President, he was on par with Vance. A senior cabinet minister had to explain that Vance was carrying a message from U.S. President Donald Trump, and thus, it was more appropriate for him to meet with Prime Minister Modi.

Furthermore, Dhankhar expressed a desire to have his photograph displayed alongside those of the Prime Minister and President in ministerial offices. He also requested that his convoy include Mercedes-Benz vehicles, similar to those used by the Prime Minister.

During discussions about Operation Sindoor and the impeachment of two judges, Dhankhar's insistence put considerable pressure on the government. Although he seemed prepared to move forward with impeachment proceedings against the judges, social media claims suggested that the government was also contemplating impeachment against him. It has been alleged that a senior government official even wrote to him, indicating that they had signatures from MPs. Ultimately, Dhankhar chose to resign, possibly to avoid losing the privileges that come with his position if the government took action against him.

There's a saying that a person who has been burned by milk will blow on buttermilk before drinking it. The BJP now aims to have a Vice President from within its own ranks. This entire episode has dented the government's image, as the resignation occurred on the very first day of Parliament's session. This incident is unprecedented in the history of Indian democracy, as the Vice President also serves as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Public scrutiny of the government has intensified, and the opposition has begun to target it as well. Names like Nitish Kumar, Ramnath Thakur, and Harivansh have been floated for the Vice Presidency, but the BJP is determined to select someone from its own party. If a candidate were chosen from an alliance, it could lead to complications in the future. Therefore, the BJP is actively seeking a candidate who is a staunch party worker to fill the Vice Presidential role.
