Only Dhankhar, PM Modi know real reason behind VP’s exit: Mallikarjun Kharge | India News

NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday mentioned he has no data on the precise reason for Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation as Vice President, holding that it was for Dhankhar to inform what actually occurred, because the matter was between him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.“I don’t know all those details. He (Dhankhar) was always on the govt’s side. He should say what happened,” Kharge was reported as saying by information company PTI, in response to a query on whether or not Dhankhar was compelled to resign as he spoke in favour of farmers. Kharge was at Vijayapura in Karnataka. “When we raised several issues concerning farmers, the poor, international issues or foreign policy, he never used to give us an opportunity (in Rajya Sabha as its Chairman),” the Congress president mentioned.“When we tried to raise issues by giving notices on issues regarding the poor, atrocities against women, Dalits and the downtrodden, and incidents like Hindu-Muslim clashes, he did not give us an opportunity. It (the reason for Dhankhar’s resignation as Vice President) is between him and Modi. We don’t have any information on that,” Kharge clarified. Notwithstanding Kharge’s stance, senior leaders from his social gathering have, since Dhankhar’s abrupt departure as VP, have been asserting that there’s much more to the episode than meets the attention.
