Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his constitutional post citing personal health reasons, according to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Shah emphasized that Dhankhar had performed well during his tenure and urged the public and media not to speculate or stretch the issue further. The resignation coincided with the first day of Parliament’s monsoon session, prompting political speculation, but Shah dismissed such conjectures. In related remarks, Shah addressed questions about the NDA's Vice Presidential candidate selection, clarifying that the candidate's southern origin was a natural choice following the President's eastern background. He also responded to opposition criticism linking the candidate to the RSS, affirming that connections to the RSS should not be viewed negatively. Additionally, Shah criticized the INDIA alliance's Vice Presidential candidate Sudershan Reddy for his past stance on Salwa Judum, which Shah claimed prolonged Naxalism in India. The resignation and subsequent statements were part of broader political discussions ahead of upcoming Vice Presidential polls and the 130th Constitutional Amendment bill.
