In a significant moment, former vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar met his successor C P Radhakrishnan on Tuesday afternoon. It was Dhankhar's first formal interaction with Radhakrishnan since the latter took office in September.

Dhankhar, who resigned in July due to health concerns, was the first to occupy the newly established Vice President's Enclave, a notable shift from the previous residence. His resignation prompted an election for the vice president post.

The meeting, held at the swanky Enclave, underscores the continuity of leadership, with both leaders having last met during Radhakrishnan's swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
