Dhankhar Reached Rashtrapati Bhavan Breaking Protocol, Made to Wait 30 Minutes to Resign
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): There was a political upheaval in the country when Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar suddenly resigned from his post on Monday. The surprising thing was that Dhankhar broke the protocol and went straight to Rashtrapati Bhavan to submit his resignation to President Draupadi Murmu without any pre-scheduled program. There he had to wait for about half an hour to meet the President.
Immediately after submitting his resignation, he made it public on social media and went to vacate his government residence. After this unexpected development, the layers of discomfort between him and the government have started to unfold.
According to sources in Rashtrapati Bhavan, Dhankhar suddenly reached Rashtrapati Bhavan at around 8:30 pm on Monday night without any prior information. His arrival in this manner created an atmosphere of chaos there. Since he had no scheduled time to meet the President, the officials immediately informed the President about it. He had to wait for about half an hour in this process. As soon as the meeting took place, Dhankhar submitted his resignation to the President.
After Dhankhar's resignation, many stories of the strained relations between him and the government are now coming to the fore. It is being discussed that there were differences between him and the government on many issues. For example, it is being told that he insisted on meeting US Vice President JD Vance, who visited India in April. Not only this, recently he had also allegedly reprimanded Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on a public platform regarding the issue of farmers, which made the government very uncomfortable. These incidents indicate that the confrontation between the two sides was brewing for a long time, which ultimately culminated in his resignation.
