Shiv Sena UBT Alleges Political Pressure Behind Ex-VP Dhankhar's Resignation

The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) alleges that former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's sudden resignation in July 2025, officially attributed to health reasons, was influenced by political pressure. Dhankhar recently denied resigning due to illness, suggesting he may have been compelled to step down after private meetings with opposition parties. The party's editorial claims the government fabricated medical reasons to justify his exit, reflecting concerns about undermining constitutional posts and appointing compliant officials.
