🚨 Who’s the Big Name for India’s Next Vice‑President After Dhankhar’s Exit? 🚨

TL;DR: After Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on July 21, 2025, citing health reasons, the BJP-led NDA is scrambling to finalize a solid, non-controversial candidate for the Vice‑President's post. Names like JD(U)’s Harivansh Singh — the current Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman — along with governors like Arif Mohammad Khan or seasoned leaders like Haribhau Bagade are doing the rounds. The election must be completed within 60 days, likely by mid-September. 🗳️

🔍 What Just Happened?

• On July 21, 2025, Vice‑President Jagdeep Dhankhar stepped down due to health concerns 😷 — he was hospitalised earlier this year and fainted in June 💉, so this move has stunned the Parliament 🏛️.

• This is the first time in Indian history a Vice‑President has resigned before completing term 😲📜.

🏛️ What’s the Constitution Say?

• As per the Indian Constitution 📖, a new VP election must be held within 60 days — so before September 19, 2025 📆.

• Till then, Harivansh Narayan Singh, the current Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman, will preside over the House 🧑‍⚖️🪑.

🎤 Who’s Being Considered?

Top Picks Floating Around BJP HQ:

👉 Harivansh Singh (JD(U)) – Known face in Rajya Sabha 🌐, clean track record ✅, and already handles House affairs smoothly 🎤.

👉 Arif Mohammad Khan – Current Kerala Governor 🌴, known for his progressive views 📚, and could send a positive signal with minority representation ✨.

👉 Haribhau Bagade – Senior BJP leader from Maharashtra 💪, with legislative experience and loyal image 🧓.

👉 Other BJP names also under radar 👀, possibly governors or ministers, depending on who ticks political boxes 🎯.

🔥 Wildcard entry: Shashi Tharoor? – Some circles buzzing with this idea 📢, though highly unlikely unless there’s a big surprise twist 🎲.

🗳️ How Will the Vote Happen?

• Only Members of Parliament (MPs) vote — that’s 788 Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha MPs 🧑‍⚖️👩‍⚖️.

• Secret ballot with a special voting system 📥. NDA’s numbers in Parliament make it easier for their candidate to win 🧮✅.

• Election Commission will announce date soon 📣. Expected sometime in August 2025.

✍️ Why It Matters to YOU!

• The Vice‑President runs the Rajya Sabha 💼 — that means they can block or fast-track bills that impact your life 🧾💡.

• This pick shows BJP’s future face 🪞— will it be someone youth connect with? Or just another old face of power? 🤔

• If opposition doesn’t put a strong face, it’ll be another silent walkover by BJP 👟👟.

💡 Our MediaFx Take:

From a people’s angle, we must ask: will this new Vice‑President stand for the real struggles of youth, farmers, students, and workers? Or will it be another puppet show from power corridors? 🎭

The working people deserve a VP who listens 👂, speaks up 🔊, and represents the masses 💪 — not just elite boardroom talk 🙄.
