Jagdeep Dhankhar Resigned as Vice-President Amid Controversy Over Farewell and Farmer Issues
A year ago, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned abruptly, citing medical reasons, after serving three years of his five-year term. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh alleged Dhankhar was forced to resign due to his criticism of the Modi government's handling of farmer distress and was denied a formal farewell by Rajya Sabha members. Dhankhar's resignation occurred on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament in July 2022. The government has not publicly responded to these claims.
