2 theory of resignation of Vice President
First: In the resignation written to the President, Dhankhar had given the reason for leaving the post.
Second: The opposition is questioning the resignation. Saying that the reason for this is something else.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said on Tuesday, ‘On July 21, at 12:30 pm, Mr. Jagdeep Dhankhar chaired the Rajya Sabha Working Committee (BAC). Most of the members including House leader JP Nadda and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju were present in this meeting. After a short discussion, it was decided that the next meeting of the committee will be held again at 4:30 pm.
At 4:30 pm, members of the committee headed by Dhankar ji gathered for a meeting again. All kept waiting for Nadda and Rijiju, but they did not come. The most surprising thing was that Dhankhar ji was not personally told that both ministers would not come to the meeting. Naturally, he felt bad about this and postponed the next meeting of BAC for 1 pm today.
It is clear that there has been some serious talk between 1 pm to 4:30 pm tomorrow, due to which JP Nadda and Kiren Rijiju did not deliberately attend the evening meeting.
Now taking a very shocking step, Mr. Jagdeep Dhankhar has resigned from his post. He has told the reason for this to his health. We should respect it. But the truth is also that there are some more deep reasons behind it. The resignation of Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar says a lot about him. At the same time, it also raises serious questions on the intention of those who took him to the post of Vice President.
