Jagdeep Dhankhar, who resigned a day before the post of Vice President, is entitled to the government bungalow.

Resignation citing health reasons
Dhankhar resigned from his post on Monday citing health reasons.

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.
