India’s Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his post on the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament on 21 July. He cited health reasons, but the opposition says that he not only resigned because of health, but was sought to resign from him.

Jagdeep Dhankhar’s term was till August 10, 2027, but he resigned before the term ended. When Congress MP Shashi Tharoor was asked who would be the next Vice President of the country, he said that there is no idea of it. He said that it is clear that the next Vice President will be nominated by the ruling party, as the structure of voters is already decided. Tharoor also hoped that the central government would consult the opposition, but at the same time we hope that they will also consult the opposition, but who knows.

Know how the election for the post of Vice President is?

The Vice President of India is elected by an electoral college which only consists of elected members of the Lok Sabha and elected and nominated members of the Rajya Sabha. The total number of voters is 782. It consists of 542 members of Lok Sabha and 240 members of Rajya Sabha. The Vice President requires 391 votes to win. The election process will start on 7 August. The last date for nomination has been fixed on 21 August and the result will come out on 9 September.

Will NDA easily win the election of Vice President?

The ruling NDA alliance currently has 293 members in the Lok Sabha and 129 members in the Rajya Sabha. In this way, he has a total of 422 votes votes. This makes it clear that if the NDA remains united, their nominated candidate can easily win the post of Vice President. On the basis of this calculation, Shashi Tharoor’s statement seems rational that this election has become just a process.

Jagdeep Dhankhar’s tenure

Dhankhar has been a vocal and active Vice President. He presided over several important Bills as the Chairman of Rajya Sabha and tried to bring clarity and discipline in the proceedings. However, some controversies also came up during his tenure, such as disagreement with the government’s stand on the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Verma, a possible disagreement with the Center and the President’s Secretariat, including sharp dialogues with the opposition. His health problems were also serious and recently he was admitted to a hospital in Nainital.

On the very first day of the monsoon session, Jagdeep Dhankad resigned as Vice President. He had cited poor health behind this and said that I am resigning on medical advice. After this decision, various types of discussions started in the political corridors. Many people saw it associated with the impeachment associated with Justice Yashwant Verma. On the one hand, the entire opposition was attacking the central government, on the other hand there was no response in this matter of Rahul Gandhi.

Talking about the news, senior journalist Adesh Rawal expressed his opinion on this decision. He said that there was no case related to health behind Dhankad Saheb’s resignation. We got a glimpse of this on Friday (25 July 2025), when no one in the House said something about the resignation, which seemed to be in the beginning that this would be a big issue. On the other hand, Prime Minister Modi also performed a small tweet about the resignation. Apart from this, a shocking thing was seen that Rahul Gandhi did not tweet a single tweet on it.

Why did Rahul Gandhi not give any reaction?

He further said that in fact Rahul Gandhi believes that this matter is within the entire government. We do not mean much in that. Rahul Gandhi’s more focus is on the intensive voter revision in Bihar. They are standing on the same from Day One and are raising questions repeatedly and asking questions to the Election Commission every day and going to Parliament.

Dhankhar was ill in December

Adesh Rawal said that it is clear that Dhankhar Saheb’s health is absolutely fine. Nothing has happened to them and is absolutely healthy. If there was an excuse for health, perhaps when that Parliament session started on Monday, he would not have come to the Rajya Sabha on that day. When he was truly ill, he was admitted to AIIMS in December and when the budget session started, he came and said that my health was bad and every day Mamata Banerjee and Sonia Gandhi used to call my wife and ask me.

Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his post on Monday (July 21, 2025). Dhankhar had sent his resignation letter to President Draupadi Murmu, citing health reasons and asked him to leave the post immediately. His sudden decision shocked everyone in the ruling party and opposition.

Meanwhile, opposition parties have invited former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar to resign from their posts for Farewell Dinner. He has been invited by the opposition parties a few days after the sudden resignation of former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.

Dhankar resigns in the Parliament session amidst political turmoil

At this time, the monsoon session of the Parliament of the country continues. The monsoon session started on Monday (July 21, 2025). On the first day of the session, former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar also attended as the Chairman of Rajya Sabha. However, last week there was a lot of upheaval in political circles. Then suddenly Jagdeep Dhankar resigned as Vice President, citing health reasons.

Opposition raised vigorously

The issue of the Working Advisory Committee of the Rajya Sabha was raised vigorously by the opposition parties. The opposition said that 74 -year -old Dhankhar did not get a chance to give his farewell speech in the Rajya Sabha. To further emphasize this issue, opposition parties have organized a special Farewell dinner, in which former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar can be formally bid farewell.

At the same time, on Friday (July 25, 2025), the Election Commission of India has appointed Rajya Sabha General Secretary PC Modi as Returning Officer (RO) for the election of Vice President.

Jagdeep Dhankhar, who resigned a day before the post of Vice President, is entitled to the government bungalow. An official of the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry gave this information on Tuesday (July 22, 2025). Dhankhar (74) was transferred to the newly constructed Vice President Enclave on Church Road near Parliament House Complex in April last year.

The Vice President’s residence and office enclave was constructed under the Central Vista redevelopment scheme. Dhankhar will have to leave it after staying in Vice President Enclave for about 15 months. The official said, “He (Dhankhar) Lutyens Delhi or any other area will be offered to give a bungalow of type eight.” Type eight bungalow is usually allocated to senior Union ministers or presidents of national parties.

Resignation citing health reasons
Dhankhar resigned from his post on Monday citing health reasons. At the same time, the Congress has said that there are more deep reasons than the health reasons given by them behind the resignation of Dhankhar. Dhankhar’s resignation of the post of Vice President on Monday night has heated up the market of such speculation whether it has been given due to ‘health’ reasons or there is ‘some other reasons’ behind it.

The ruling coalition did not respond
Usually, a highly placed person is praised for his removal, but in the case of Dhankhar, there was no such response from the ruling coalition. However, good words were said by the opposition about Dhankhar. It is different that the opposition members signed a notice last year to remove Dhankar’s alleged bias. Let us know that with the resignation of Dhankhar, a new election is scheduled for the second largest constitutional post in the country and this process can also affect many political equations.

Vice President of India and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar has resigned from his post. He has cited health reasons behind this. However, after the resignation, some more discussions have also intensified. The social media of Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh was posted. He wrote in his post that till about 5 pm I was with him, there were many other MPs with him and I had a phone conversation with him at 7:30 pm.

During the monsoon session of Parliament on Monday (21 July 2025), 63 MPs of opposition parties in the Rajya Sabha signed the impeachment against Justice Verma and handed over to Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Jagdeep Dhankhar accepted this proposal of opposition parties against Justice Verma, while the government wanted to bring the impeachment motion to the Lok Sabha. Regarding this, 145 MPs of the opposition and the opposition also handed over the proposal to the Lok Sabha Speaker, but now after the resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar, this development is being seen by linking it to that impeachment motion. There are speculations that the government was angry due to the acceptance of the opposition’s proposal.

Refer to health reasons behind resignation
The Congress says that Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his post as the government’s displeasure increased, but it is only a discussion, while he has clearly cited health reasons in his resignation. Now after his resignation, the political movement has intensified. Even before this, Jagdeep Dhankhar has been in discussion about his statements. On a public platform, he raised the issue of farmers’ movement, when Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan was also present on the stage. As Vice President, his statement was made a fierce issue by the opposition.

Third Vice President to Esse
He is the third President to resign before his term is completed in India’s history. Earlier, VV Giri and R Venkataraman resigned, but he resigned after being elected President and before taking oath. After the death of President Zakir Hussain, VV Giri was made President and resigned. While R Venkataraman was elected President of India in 1987 and he was the Vice President at that time, he resigned before the swearing in.
