In a surprise move, Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from office on July 21, 2025, citing medical reasons, just hours after presiding over the Rajya Sabha on the opening day of the Monsoon Session. VP Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation comes days after he remarked at a Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) event that he intended to complete his term ending in August 2027, "subject to divine intervention." A video of the speech is now going viral. "I will retire at the right time, August 2027, subject to divine intervention," Dhankhar had said. The sudden exit cuts short his tenure by two years. Jagdeep Dhankhar Resigns as VP: How Is a New Vice President of India Elected? Who Can Cast Vote?
