Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge voiced skepticism over the resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, implying possible underlying issues behind his decision. During a media interaction, Kharge insisted that the government disclose the reasons prompting Dhankhar's unexpected exit.

Kharge stated, "The government should explain why he quit. Everything appears to be normal with his health. Despite his consistent support for BJP and RSS, we need to understand the true factors influencing his resignation." Meanwhile, Deputy Leader of Opposition Gaurav Gogoi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for politicizing the resignation.

Gogoi emphasized the importance of maintaining the sanctity of constitutional offices, highlighting Modi's social media comments as politically charged. Jairam Ramesh, another Congress official, described the departure as abrupt and lacking dignity. Although Modi wished Dhankhar well, Dhankhar cited health reasons for resigning. The development triggered a wave of speculation across the political spectrum.
