Big Debate: BJP’s VP Pick, Resignation Row And Naxal Legacy Spark Political Storm

In the midst of discussions on bills and transparency, questions have been raised over the recent resignation of Mr. Dhankar, who cited health reasons in his letter. Opposition leaders, however, allege that he was pressured to step down. While the BJP strongly denies such claims, speculation remains that his replacement was strategically chosen with Tamil Nadu in mind, as the party eyes electoral expansion in the southern state. BJP leaders insist this is not about political tokenism, but a natural choice, highlighting that the party has previously contested and won seats in Tamil Nadu alongside allies.The debate also touched upon the broader political narrative in India’s east and south. Historical references were made to the rise and fall of Naxalism, with reminders that for decades tribals suffered from lack of roads, education, and healthcare. In this context, Salwa Judum—a controversial anti-Naxal militia movement—was recalled. The Supreme Court had struck it down, terming it unconstitutional, and records of that judgment were highlighted during the exchange.This discussion reflects the overlapping layers of India’s politics—leadership changes, regional ambitions, and long-standing questions of governance and security.
