  • Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's "fidelity" was towards the ruling BJP instead of the Constitution and constitutional tradition.

The article from India Today discusses the political dynamics in the Rajya Sabha, where Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, also the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, has been accused by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge of bias towards the ruling party. Kharge criticized Dhankhar for not allowing the opposition to speak, particularly during the no-confidence motion debate. Dhankhar responded by asserting his commitment to impartiality and the Constitution, stating that he would not be swayed by political pressures. The opposition, led by Kharge, has been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the management of the House, especially after the INDIA bloc moved a no-confidence motion against the government. This has led to a heated exchange, with Kharge alleging that Dhankhar's actions are detrimental to democracy, while Dhankhar maintains that he is merely upholding the rules and decorum of the House.
