Jagdeep Dhankhar Resignation: Jagdeep Dhankhar has resigned from the post of Vice President. Everyone in the political corridors is surprised by his move. Dhankhar has resigned citing health reasons. But after the resignation, the discussion has started about his successor. Which big leaders are in this race? So let's discuss some big faces.
In this race, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is leading. Along with this, the name of Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor is also being discussed a lot and surprised everyone. JDU MP Harivansh Narayan Singh is also believed to be ahead in the race. Many names are running on social media.
Nitish Kumar's name tops
There is a lot of discussion on social media and internet that Nitish Kumar can be the next Vice President. Bihar assembly elections are due this year. Nitish Kumar has not yet become fully active in the elections. At the same time, the Bharatiya Janata Party wants to keep its own face as the Chief Minister in Bihar.
According to some political observers, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is ahead in the race. In Bihar, BJP will appoint Chief Minister of its own party for the elections. JDU will have a Deputy Chief Minister. Nitish's son Nishant could be Deputy CM.
There is speculation that before the elections in the state, the current Chief Minister can be made the Vice President. It will be difficult for BJP to find a face for the post of Chief Minister with Nitish in the state politics. That is why Nitish's claim to become the Vice President is getting stronger.
Gadkari-Rajnath also in the race
Apart from this, there is also a discussion in social media and political circles that veteran leader from Maharashtra and Cabinet Minister in the Central Government, Nitin Gadkari can also be made the Vice President. The name of Rajnath Singh is also in the race.
Harivansh Narayan Singh also in the race
In media reports, JDU MP Harivansh Narayan Singh is being described as the "next obvious choice" for the post of Vice President. It is being told that Singh's name is at the top of this list because he is currently the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
According to the rules of the Constitution, in the absence of Dhankhar, Singh will take over as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha from Wednesday till the new Vice President is elected. Many people believe that the NDA can make him the Vice Presidential candidate.
Congress leader's name surprised
Tharoor's differences with the Congress and his proximity to the Modi government, especially after he became part of the government's outreach programme on Operation Sindoor, had made the headlines days. A senior journalist wrote on X, "Two prominent NDA Union ministers and Shashi Tharoor are potential contenders for the post of Vice President."
