Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar suddenly resigned on Tuesday evening, citing health concerns. In his resignation letter, Dhankhar said he was stepping down to focus on his health and follow medical advice.

 Following the acceptance of Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation by the President Droupadi Murmu and PM Modi, there has buzz was doing the rounds over the successor to Jagdeep Dhankhar as the
Vice-President.
be the next Vice President. As of now after several names were suggested, Arif Mohammad Khan, the Governor of Bihar, seems to be the top contender for the role.
When once PM Modi returns from his visits to the UK and Maldives, a final decision about the new Vice President may be made. In political circles, some other names are also being discussed for the position, one of them is Defence Minister Rajnath Singh but he isn’t interested.

Last time when Jagdeep Dhankhar became Vice President last time, Rajnath Singh’s name was being discussed, but since he has already served twice as BJP’s national president and has been handling important roles like Home Minister and now Defence Minister for the past 11 years in the Modi government, had clearly shown no interest in the post even then.

Some were talking about BJP national president JP Nadda for the role. They are pointing out that his term as party president is ending soon.

However, many senior leaders are strongly denying this possibility. They say that Nadda is already managing two big ministries in the government i.e. Health, and Chemicals & Fertilizers, along with being the Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha.

Hence, there is little chance that he will be removed from these key roles to be made Vice President.
