Indian Politics: Political Opposition raised questions on the intention of the government when Jagdeep Dhankhar became Vice President

News India Live, Digital Desk: Recently Jagdeep Dhankhar has been sworn in as the Vice President of India, which is an important constitutional post in the Republic of India. Earlier, he was serving as the Governor of West Bengal. With his Vice Presidential post, his Governor’s role automatically ended. This change, however, has given rise to a fresh political discussion and debate, in which the opposition parties have raised serious questions on the intentions of the central government. Opposition, especially other parties, including the opposition, especially the Congress and the Trinamool Congress, have seen this entire incident as a major strategy to interfere in the affairs of the states and weaken the federal structure. They allege that the government is using constitutional posts for political gains and weakening democratic institutions. The leaders of the opposition have clearly stated that Jagdeep Dhankhar’s going to the post of Vice President is not an issue in itself, but during this process the alleged policy and intentions adopted by the government are under question. Vipakshi leaders have expressed concern that such activities may weaken the constitutional innovation and the central relations with the states. They are accusing the Center of centralization of power and believe that the government aims to disrupt democratic balance. The controversy presents a comprehensive picture of the tussle between constitutional positions and political powers in Indian politics, where every step is being seen and tested from a political perspective. Overall, the appointment of Jagdeep Dhankhar to the post of Vice President is a constitutional process, but the way the opposition has fought against the government on it, it can create further warmth in center-state relations and political environment in the coming time.
