“For 50 days now, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar has maintained an uncharacteristic silence. Today as the election for his successor gets underway, the nation continues to wait for him to speak out after his unprecedented and unexpected resignation as VP following the expression of his concerns on the deep neglect of farmers by the Modi Govt, on the dangers posed by ‘ahankar’ of those in power, etc,” Ramesh stated on handle X.

Dhankkar’s sudden resignation on July 21, citing health reasons, has sparked intense debate and speculation. Ramesh described the resignation as “shocking as it is inexplicable” and questioned the timing, given Dhankhar’s busy schedule and upcoming meetings.
The Vice Presidential election is currently underway, with NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan facing off against Opposition candidate B Sudershan Reddy. The outcome is expected to be announced later today, with the NDA holding a numerical advantage.
Ramesh’s remarks highlight the intrigue surrounding Dhankhar’s resignation and the expectations from the nation for clarity on the circumstances leading to it.
