President Droupadi Murmu has formally accepted the resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, with the Ministry of Home Affairs issuing an official notification confirming the move.

The sudden resignation, submitted earlier this week, has stirred political curiosity, with speculation growing about Dhankhar’s future role or possible political ambitions ahead of the 2025 Lok Sabha dynamics.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued a detailed notice confirming that the resignation has taken effect immediately, and all constitutional protocols are being followed for the transition. As per the Indian Constitution, the Vice President also serves as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, and Dhankhar's departure leaves a key vacancy in the legislative functioning of the upper house.

Sources close to the Vice President’s office indicate that Dhankhar may be stepping down for health or personal reasons, while others believe he could be preparing for an elevated or strategic role within the central government or BJP leadership. However, no official statement has been released explaining the cause.

This development comes at a crucial time as Parliament is in session, and the Rajya Sabha will now function under interim arrangements until a new Vice President is elected. Political observers are keeping a close watch on who may be fielded by the ruling alliance as the next VP nominee.

Dhankhar, a seasoned politician and legal expert, was known for his assertive handling of Rajya Sabha proceedings and had played a visible role in legislative debates and constitutional interpretation. His resignation marks the end of an active and occasionally controversial tenure.
