Vice President Dhankar’s resignation, now who will take charge of Rajya Sabha in the monsoon session?
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigns
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar suddenly announced his resignation from his post on Monday night. He has resigned citing health reasons, but his sudden announcement has created a stir in the political corridors. Since the monsoon session has started and today the first day has passed and the biggest question arises that who will preside over the Rajya Sabha now? According to the Constitution, the Vice President of India is the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and the Rajya Sabha session runs in the same state. But what will happen now?
Who will handle Rajya Sabha charge?
According to the Constitution, if the Vice President resigns in the middle of the session for some reason, the chair of the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha is vacant. So in such a situation, an alternative arrangement is necessary to run the session smoothly. According to Article 89 (1), the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha monitors all the tasks in the absence of the Chairman. When the president is not present in the Rajya Sabha, the responsibility of the current session of the Rajya Sabha is entrusted to the Deputy Chairman and the same sessions run smoothly.
VC’s resignation in the middle of the session is a big deal
Talking about the current time, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman is Harivansh Narayan Singh, who has been working in this post since 2020. In such a situation, Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh will conduct the proceedings of Rajya Sabha till the new Vice President is elected and he does not take charge. Many important bills and debates are prepared in the monsoon session, so the role of the Chairman is very important, which is the Vice President.

Earlier in 2017, the Deputy Chairman was responsible for the completion of the term of Vice President Hamid Ansari and for a few days before the election. But at a time when the Parliament session is going on, then the resignation of the Vice President is considered a big political development.
