BJP Orchestrated Dhankhar’s Exit Over Justice Varma: Congress
In a shocking turn of events, the Congress party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating the resignation of former Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, citing his decision to initiate the impeachment process against Justice Yashwant Varma as the main reason. Senior Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi made these allegations during a press conference, sparking a heated debate in the political circles.
According to Singhvi, the BJP’s motive behind Dhankhar’s resignation was to maintain control over the impeachment process, which was initiated by him in the Rajya Sabha. The Congress leader claimed that the government’s decision to restart the impeachment motion in the Lok Sabha was an example of “institutional sabotage”.
“He (Dhankhar) was showing minimal independence in office, which was not palatable to the government,” Singhvi said during the press conference. “He was trying to initiate the impeachment process in the Rajya Sabha, which was not acceptable to the government. So, they orchestrated his exit to maintain control over the process.”
The Congress leader’s statement comes at a time when the country is witnessing a high-stakes political battle over the impeachment of Justice Varma. The Opposition parties, including the Congress, have been demanding the removal of the Supreme Court judge, citing allegations of corruption and misconduct.
Dhankhar’s resignation as the Vice-President of India has sparked widespread speculation about the reasons behind his sudden exit. While the government has maintained that his resignation was due to personal reasons, the Congress party’s allegations have added a new dimension to the controversy.
The BJP, however, has dismissed the Congress party’s allegations as baseless and motivated. The ruling party has claimed that Dhankhar’s resignation was a personal decision and had nothing to do with the impeachment process.
The controversy surrounding Dhankhar’s resignation has also raised questions about the role of the Vice-President in the impeachment process. According to the Constitution, the Vice-President has the power to initiate the impeachment process in the Rajya Sabha, but the Lok Sabha has the final say in the matter.
The Congress party’s allegations have also sparked a debate about the government’s intentions behind restarting the impeachment motion in the Lok Sabha. The Opposition parties have accused the government of trying to undermine the independence of the judiciary and manipulate the impeachment process to suit its own interests.
The controversy has also led to a war of words between the Congress party and the BJP, with both sides trading barbs and accusations. The Congress party has accused the BJP of trying to suppress the truth and manipulate the political narrative, while the ruling party has dismissed the allegations as baseless and motivated.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the political landscape will shape up in the coming days. Will the Congress party’s allegations stick, or will the BJP manage to weather the storm? Only time will tell.
