22 Jul 2025 Evaluate

A day after Jagdeep Dhankhar stepped down as Vice President, Senior Congress leader and Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot today said that only a person working under pressure can give such a shocking resignation. 

Speaking to the media at his residence in Jaipur, Ashok Gehlot said, ‘Dhankhar may have cited health reasons for his decision, but people are finding it hard to believe. There is no doubt that this incident is shocking for the whole country’. Gehlot claimed that though Dhankhar cited health concerns for his resignation, people do not think it is true.

Former Rajasthan CM said the Prime Minister’s foreign tour coincided with Vice President’s sudden resignation, sparking widespread discussion in the whole country and the world, noting that Dhankhar had been raising issues of farmers. He further added, ‘Ten days ago, I said in Jodhpur that both the Rajya Sabha chairman and the Lok Sabha speaker are from Rajasthan and both are working under pressure. The truth has come out’. Gehlot said only RSS and BJP people, or the prime minister know the real reason behind the resignation.

Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra said the BJP has no special affection for farmers or their sons. He said, ‘They have no place in their hearts for the sons of farmers who nurtured the BJP organisation by struggling throughout their lives’. He added, ‘Who to appoint to a post and who to ask for a resignation is the BJP's internal matter. But the message is clear that be it an organisation or a constitutional post, anyone who starts thinking, understanding and speaking is a burden’.

Jagdeep Dhankhar submitted his resignation to President Droupadi Murmu on Monday evening and the Ministry of Home Affairs notified his resignation on Tuesday.
