Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigns early due to health problems

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on July 21, 2025, due to health issues, following his doctor’s advice. He stepped down under Article 67(a) of the Constitution. In his message, he expressed deep gratitude to President Murmu, Prime Minister Modi, the Council of Ministers, and MPs, calling it an honour to serve. He said his health must come first. His mid-term resignation is unusual and has raised questions about its impact on politics and his recent heart-related health problems.
