Politicians usually discover alternatives in instances of bother, and Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation has change into a contentious difficulty in Parliament. Opposition events, particularly the Congress, see it as an opportunity to problem the federal government. Dhankhar, beforehand criticised by the opposition as a “authorities puppet”, is now the focus of their efforts to “defend him”.
The Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, and Samajwadi Get together have questioned his sudden resignation, speculating whether or not he was compelled out. Dhankhar’s departure is now getting used to focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the federal government. Sources recommend that many secrets and techniques are rising. Notably, the Trinamool Congress skipped the INDIA bloc assembly on Tuesday, regardless of its MPs being within the nationwide capital. The TMC’s absence is attributed to its long-standing animosity with Dhankhar. The get together solely engaged with him when he turned vice chairman out of constitutional obligation, however no TMC MP has had a detailed assembly with him previously yr and a half.

The Congress allegedly needed two impeachment proceedings: one in opposition to Justice Varma and one other in opposition to Justice Yadav. Dhankhar reportedly assured the get together that he would look into it, although he was noncommittal.
The PM’s non-post on X relating to Shri Jagdeep Dhankar’s compelled resignation has solely added to the thriller of his abrupt exit. Absolutely the PM may have been a bit extra gracious–he’s, in any case, the supreme grasp of hypocrisy. The kisanputra is being denied even a dignified…— Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) July 22, 2025
Sources say the federal government was not too involved in regards to the Kharge and Kejriwal conferences, however Dhankhar’s curiosity in a double impeachment alarmed it, particularly because the ruling NDA deliberate to have one vote from each the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The credit score for initiating the impeachment movement in opposition to Justice Varma is seen as a bigger combat in opposition to corruption, one thing the federal government wouldn’t wish to attribute solely to the opposition.
The Congress, RJD, SP, and TMC have been largely united of their stance, however sources say Trinamool has not forgiven the Congress for what it views as a failed impeachment try in opposition to Dhankhar. It believes the Congress was aligning with the vice chairman, whom it had at all times criticised as a “authorities stooge”.
The Congress was fast to query Dhankhar’s sudden resignation. Jairam Ramesh, Priyanka Chaturvedi, and Tejashwi Yadav from the opposition all raised considerations, aiming to make use of the Dhankhar difficulty to assault the Prime Minister and the BJP. They view Dhankhar as a lesser enemy in comparison with the federal government. The Congress hopes to show that the BJP doesn’t tolerate dissent, drawing parallels with Satya Pal Malik, the previous lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir. The get together anticipates that Dhankhar would possibly ultimately reveal damaging details about the federal government.
Nonetheless, sources say the federal government is conscious of the Congress’s technique and is ready to counter it.
