Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned as Vice President of India on July 21, citing health concerns, following an unannounced visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan. His abrupt departure just before a stormy Rajya Sabha session triggered intense speculation. While Dhankhar attributed his exit to medical advice, reports suggest deeper tensions with the government. His move reportedly disrupted the Centre’s plan to initiate impeachment proceedings against Justice Yashwant Varma in the Lok Sabha, as Dhankhar accepted an Opposition-backed notice in the Rajya Sabha instead. The ruling alliance’s tepid response and swift acceptance of the resignation have fueled talk of political fallout behind the scenes. (PC: HT)
