Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s abrupt resignation on Monday came as a major shock for leaders across the political spectrum. VP Dhankhar wrote a letter to President Droupadi Murmu and cited his deteriorating health as a reason for relinquishing the key post. As per Clause 2 of Article 68, the election will have to be held ‘as soon as possible’ in case of the death, resignation or removal of the Vice President.
