NEW DELHI: (Jul 22) The Congress on Tuesday claimed that there are “far deeper reasons” for Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation as the vice president than the health reasons cited by him, and said his resignation speaks highly of him but poorly of those who got him elected to the post.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said Dhankhar chaired the Business Advisory Committee of the Rajya Sabha at 12.30 pm on Monday.

“It was attended by most members, including Leader of the House JP Nadda and the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju. After some discussion, the BAC decided to meet again at 4:30 PM,” he pointed out in a post on X.
