BJP officials challenged Congress allegations regarding Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's departure from office. The ruling party reminded opposition members about their previous attempt to remove Dhankhar through a no-confidence motion. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey urged Congress leaders to avoid adding political interpretations to the resignation announcement. Party representatives criticized opposition efforts to create controversy around the constitutional officer's decision. The exchange highlighted tensions between major political parties over the unexpected resignation.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh characterized Dhankhar's resignation as surprising and difficult to explain. The opposition leader suggested undisclosed factors motivated the Vice President's choice beyond stated health concerns. Ramesh praised Dhankhar's commitment to parliamentary procedures and constitutional protocols during his tenure. However, Shiv Sena spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi disputed these positive assessments of the former Vice President. She referenced the opposition's earlier no-confidence motion against Dhankhar for allegedly partisan behavior while presiding over parliamentary sessions.
