0:08 Jagdeep Dhankhar said in a DU address that he's not going anywhere, dont believe rumors But it seems non biological intervention happened Politics in our country never lets us get bored... demonetisation, GST, lockdown sometimes election announcement, and politics is played 24-7 till 6 pm on 21 July, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was finalizing programme for the next day a tour two days later and chaired Rajya Sabha in the morning he advised everyone to work together and not fight
0:57 nothing seemed out of ordinary but at 9 pm suddenly his resignation letter comes in front of country BJP leaders remained quiet after this shock announcement Congress was speaking more PM Modi who tweets when there is flood in Texas and calls when cricket match is won but after all this PM Modi was silent, for 15 hours, after which this strange tweet comes from his handle
1:55 Felt like it was not meant... he wrote bigger tweet for rivals Modi ji did not write whether he was happy about the work of Dhankhar ... speculation is going on President Murmu also accepted the resignation And it appears there is no plan to organize farewell function it makes one to see that his resignation was no coincidence but he was sacked, there was pressure - but why?
3:00 In today's episode we will look at some secrets of big political story and implications this is the first time that a vice president has resigned from their post there were cases like VV Giri and R Venkataraman when resignation was made but to contest for presidential election 2 years remained in his term but Dhankhar cited health reason for resigning but the question is why he did it?
3:56 but how by evening you were so unwell when you chaired the session in the morning that is why health angle is not being accepted yes in the beginning of year he did have angioplasty procedure but after that he did proceedings in parliament and programmes in country.. so he was okay he did an unscheduled meeting with President Murmu before resigning the meeting conversation has not been made official so we dont know he also met Arvind Kejriwal before resignation, so theories are emerging so something happened in afternoon of 21st, which led to this unexpected decision
4:50 one reason is Dhankhar agreed to opposition demand of Justice Yashwant Verma's removal because opposition managed to get 50 signatures so Dhankhar approved the removal of Justice Verma Justice Verma in whose house cash was found... you can watch our episode to know more problem is, Govt wanted to handle the matter on their own, if they had to go against judiciary, Govt wanted control this gives opposition the chance to remove Justice Shekhar Yadav
5:38 the same Judge who used communal language at VHP event Katmullah are danger for country, stopping the country from moving forward BJP does not want harm to Justice Shekhar Yadav... VP Dhankhar had found in this case that signatures were not enough for his removal so statutory committee was not formed a double signature was investigated but when it comes to Justice Yashwant Verma, opposition got a chance to set narrative, BJP got a shock. Dhankhar is somewhere held responsible
6:32 it is being said that there was argument between Govt and Vice President over this Dhankhar cites his powers, Govt cites their MP numbers, Impeachment threat was somewhere there Vice president resigned before any further escalation, to get moral high ground whatever the reason might be... the tenure of Jagdeep Dhankhar, his statements, his confrontational attitude and fascination to side by Govt .. now the same Govt seems to be adopting use and throw policy but what will be his legacy, what will he be remembered for?
7:19 Vice president post is apolitical so the holder has to serve their constitutional duties above party lines Vice president is also the chair of Rajya Sabha and it is their responsibility to hold it in unbiased way but was Dhankhar unbiased? The allegation is that he listened to Govt more than Constitution some evidences have been given in 2022 the then Law minister Kiren Rijiju criticized the supreme court
8:10 for years Govt has tried to have more control on judicial appointments supreme court decided not to take this lightly and Rijiju had to stay silent then Dhankhar comes as vice president and makes statements on supreme court criticizing the 2015 judgment in which supreme court had striked down NJAC Dhankhar believed it was violating the rights of parliament and mockery of people's mandate and that it is responsibility of Supreme court to not remove laws passed by parliament
9:00 at that time opposition wanted to corner Govt that how they are not allowing constitutional bodies to function then 2023 targeting of supreme court where Dhankhar questioned basic structure of Constitution in 1973 Kesavananda Bharati case, supreme court had ruled that that parliament can amend constitution but not basic structure of constitution Dhankhar ji believed that basic structure is supremacy of people whatever people prefer that law will happen
9:50 supreme court was told to be in limit again in April this year, Dhankhar ji had argument with supreme court when supreme court said that pocket veto cant be used indefinitely and that in 3 months decision is to be made Dhankhar ji again said that there is no authority on parliament elected representatives will decide what should be there in constitution and that supreme court of India cannot advise president of India so the whole system of checks and balances was discarded
10:40 it appears Govt itself is not able to say it, so thats why Dhankhar ji says it but he didnt have to be so passionate and emotional Times of India explained this in a concise editorial basically he has no right to comment on big matters
11:33 this wasnt the first time Dhankhar ji was humiliated, newspapers were exposing that his words have no value everyone knew, experts knew his post and words are ceremonial still he was trying to set atmosphere, sending Govt message to judiciary dont be too active or it will be bad.. but his real duty was chairing Rajya Sabha how did he perform there, which was his actual duty? Dhankhar will be remembered more for his role in Rajya Sabha than arguments with supreme court
12:20 where he never held back in slamming the opposition asking question, sloganeering, demanding - these things are dangerous for country as if our country is so fragile now in 2023 opposition demanded that PM appear in Rajya Sabha to explain what Govt is doing in Manipur crisis Dhankhar ji said at the time that he wont force PM to appear, it is his choice accepted it is PM's right.. then it is opposition's right to demand statement from Amit Shah
13:11 how some youngsters entered parliament is that internal security? Home ministry was answerable for the breach but what happened was in winter session nearly 150 MPs were suspended, both houses included this was highest number of suspension in country's history... mother of democracy in 2024 exam paper leak case, Leader of opposition Kharge sahab entered the parliament well a hurt Dhankhar ji said it was a black spot as never ever a leader entered the parliament well like that
14:02 Kharge sahab replied that to attract the attention of chair to himself he had to enter the well last year July, Dhankhar and Kapil Sibal had argument over the fact in no democratic country parliament, the presiding officer does not stop members so much Dhankhar maintained his confrontational attitude... sometimes he came in defense of RSS
14:48 and sometimes hinted that Rahul Gandhi is enemy of nation due to these useless statements, opposition launched no confidence motion against Dhankhar last December, he was the first 60 INDIA bloc MPs made resolution to remove Dhankhar it was rejected on technical ground, reverse count had started, but Dhankhar didnt stop Dhankhar nodded with Govt, like last month Dhankhar said that adding socialist and secular words to preamble was sacrilege to the spirit of sanatan
15:51 Maybe Modi ji was upset by this and perhaps didnt forgive from his heart because recently we have showed you that PM Modi is biggest socialist leader in country's history he launched bigger social service schemes, revdi schemes than Nehru and Indira Gandhi it is clear that somehow Dhankhar ji angered Modi and Shah whether its judge impeachment, promoting Yogi, or speaking too much exact reason is not known but speculations are on the rise vice president post is important... whoever is chosen will stay for 5 years
16:40 not the remaining term but whole 5 year term they will control narrative in Rajya Sabha... one theory is that by blessings of RSS Nitin Gadkari or Rajnath Singh could be contenders K. Laxman name is also surfacing... president of BJP's OBC morcha, close to RSS and people close to Modi, like Anandiben Patel name is on top... Governor of Uttar Pradesh, former Gujarat CM, senior BJP leader Harivansh Narayan Singh from JDU, who is already deputy chairman of Rajya Sabha Bihar elections are coming so JDU might say their person should be picked but all of this is speculation
17:25 no one knows whats going on in minds of Modi and Shah neither resignation nor next candidate thats why you can hear names of Nirmala Sitharaman, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Nitish Kumar and even Shashi Tharoor name in speculations speculation is also that Rajnath Singh will be made Vice president and Yogi Adityanath will be handed defense ministry if this happens, then the resignation will start chain reaction which can take everyone in its grasp... even Narendra Modi resignation of Dhankhar ji shows that no matter how much you please the supreme leader
18:12 whether governor of Bengal or Vice president... bulldozer action can be taken on you. No house or structure is safe here.
