चौंकाने वाला इस्तीफा: क्या BJP ने उपाध्यक्ष जगदीप धनखड़ को जबरन बाहर किया? विस्फोटक जानकारी सामने आई!

New Delhi, July 24, 2025 – In a stunning turn of events, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on July 21, 2025, citing health reasons, but whispers in political corridors and fiery opposition claims suggest a darker truth: was the BJP behind a forced exit? The dramatic resignation, announced on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, has ignited a firestorm of speculation, with allegations of coercion and political maneuvering rocking the nation.

Dhankhar, 74, a seasoned politician and former West Bengal Governor, stepped down abruptly, leaving his term—set to end in August 2027—unfinished. His resignation letter to President Droupadi Murmu cited health concerns, referencing a recent angioplasty. But opposition leaders, including Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Yadav, aren’t buying it. “Daal mein kuch kaala hai [something is amiss],” Kharge declared, hinting at hidden motives.

What Sparked the Controversy?

The flashpoint appears to be Dhankhar’s bold move as Rajya Sabha Chairman to accept an opposition-backed motion to remove High Court Justice Yashwant Varma, linked to a cash-at-home scandal. Sources claim this decision blindsided the BJP-led government, which wanted to lead the charge in the Lok Sabha to score anti-corruption points. Did Dhankhar’s independence cost him his position?

Adding fuel to the fire, senior BJP ministers JP Nadda and Kiren Rijiju skipped a crucial Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting chaired by Dhankhar at 4:30 pm on July 21, reportedly without informing him personally. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh called this a deliberate snub, noting “something very serious happened” between 1 pm and 4:30 pm that day. By 9:25 pm, Dhankhar had resigned, with no farewell speech or public appearance, raising eyebrows further.

Opposition Cries Foul

Opposition leaders are relentless in their accusations:

• Mallikarjun Kharge: “The government should answer why he resigned… Who and what is behind it?”
• Akhilesh Yadav: “None of the BJP leaders visited him to enquire about his health… There is something wrong.”
• Jairam Ramesh: “His resignation speaks highly of him but poorly of those who got him elected.”

Some allege the BJP threatened Dhankhar with a no-confidence motion to force his hand, sparing him the humiliation of a government-backed impeachment. Posts on X amplify this narrative, with users like @Quantum_akr and @nareshtanwar_ claiming Dhankhar’s meetings with opposition leaders like Kharge and Kejriwal raised suspicions within the ruling party.

BJP’s Deafening Silence

The BJP’s response? Eerily quiet. Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a brief message on X, 15 hours after the resignation, simply wishing Dhankhar good health—a stark contrast to the usual praise for a departing ally. BJP MP Kangana Ranaut expressed gratitude for his service, but the party has dodged questions about coercion.

Health or Politics?

Dhankhar’s medical history, including a heart procedure in March 2025, supports his health claims. Yet, his active participation in Rajya Sabha proceedings and a scheduled Jaipur visit on July 23 suggest no immediate health crisis. Was his resignation a dignified exit to avoid a brewing political storm, or did the BJP pull the strings behind closed doors?

What’s Next?

With Dhankhar out, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh has taken over proceedings, and his name is floating as a potential successor. Some speculate the BJP may be eyeing a strategic replacement, possibly Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, to bolster its position in upcoming elections. The Election Commission must now hold polls within six months to fill the vacancy.

This bombshell resignation has left India’s political landscape reeling, with questions swirling: Was Dhankhar’s exit truly about health, or did the BJP orchestrate a power play? Stay tuned as this saga unfolds!
