Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Resigns, Citing Health Reasons

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has unexpectedly resigned from his post, effective immediately, citing medical advice. His resignation, submitted to President Droupadi Murmu, came on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The move has triggered political speculation, with the Opposition suggesting deeper reasons beyond health. The Constitution mandates that an election to fill the vacancy must be held "as soon as possible," initiating the process to select India's next Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairperson.
