The Message From Dhankhar's Resignation
The Business Guardian
|July 23, 2025
The sudden resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar as Vice President has caught everyone by surprise.
More so, the resignation letter was sent to the Rashtrapati Bhavan on the very first day of the monsoon session of Parliament. Although health reasons were cited, no one has bought this explanation since the (former) Vice President showed little signs of ill health when he presided over the Upper House earlier on Monday.
There is speculation of a fallout. If true, it must be at the very highest level. There is no parallel power centre as there was one during the UPA regime. And this is what makes the resignation so interesting. For until now, whatever differences, if any, have been muted and rarely made headlines. PM's word is final, so much so that we are told that even the RSS is happy to let the PM take the lead since it is his mass appeal and the USP that is keeping the BJP in power.
