Dhankhar Resignation Drama: Did Ministers’ Absence Spark Vice President’s Exit?

The political scene is abuzz with speculation surrounding the resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Congress leaders are pointing fingers at the absence of key BJP figures, JP Nadda and Kiren Rijiju, from a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting as the potential trigger for Dhankhar’s decision.

Congress Claims Ministers’ Absence Fueled Dhankhar’s Frustration

According to Congress insiders, Dhankhar felt slighted by Nadda and Rijiju’s no-show at the crucial BAC meeting. They claim this perceived disrespect ultimately led to his resignation. Sources within the party suggest that Dhankhar felt undermined and unsupported by the BJP leadership.

BJP Rejects Congress’s Claims, Cites Other Reasons

The BJP, however, has vehemently denied these allegations. Party representatives maintain that Dhankhar’s resignation is unrelated to the BAC meeting. They cite other reasons, though remaining tight-lipped on specifics, for his departure, dismissing the Congress’s claims as mere political posturing.

What’s Next for the Vice Presidency?

With Dhankhar’s exit, the focus now shifts to the upcoming election for the next Vice President. Political analysts are already speculating on potential candidates and the implications for the balance of power within the government.
