Who will be India's Next Vice President? Jagdeep Dhankhar has resigned from the post of Vice President of India . Everyone in political circles is shocked by his move. Dhankhar has resigned citing health reasons. The opposition has already attacked the government with its questions. Is there any other reason behind this? Many political experts are keeping an eye on this. Does it have anything to do with the Bihar assembly elections to be held at the end of this year? Anyway, whatever the reasons may be… now the question arises: Who will be the next President of India? Which big leaders are involved in this race? So let us discuss some big faces.

There is a lot of speculation in social media and political circles about many names who can become the next Vice President of India. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is leading the race. Along with this, the name of Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor is also being discussed a lot. JDU MP Harivansh Narayan Singh is also being said to be the first choice in this race. Many names are being discussed on social media. Speculations are being made as to who will be Dhankhar 's successor.

Nitish Kumar

There is a strong discussion on social media and the internet that Nitish Kumar could be the next Vice President. Nitish Kumar's name seems inevitable. This year, there are Bihar assembly elections. Nitish Kumar has not yet become fully active in the elections. At the same time, the Bharatiya Janata Party wants to project its face as the Chief Minister in Bihar. The current Chief Minister can be made the Vice President before the elections in the state. As long as Nitish is in state politics, it is difficult for the BJP to find a Chief Ministerial face. This reason strengthens Nitish's claim to become the Vice President.

Political journalist Sameer Chaugaonkar wrote on Twitter, ' Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is going to be the next Vice President of the country. In Bihar, BJP will appoint its own Chief Minister for the elections. JDU will have a Deputy Chief Minister. Nitish's son Nishant can be made the Deputy Chief Minister. ' Some social media users are even speculating that Nitish can be made the Vice President, while Dhankhar can be appointed the National President of BJP.

Harivansh Narayan Singh

In media reports, JDU MP Harivansh Narayan Singh is being described as the "next obvious choice" for the post of Vice President. It is being said that Singh's name is at the top of this list. Because he is currently the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. According to the rules of the Constitution, Singh will take over as the Chairman (Deputy Chairman) of the Rajya Sabha from today, in the absence of Dhankhar, until a new Vice President is elected. People on social media say that Singh has excellent relations with both Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and hence, many people believe that the NDA can make him the Vice Presidential candidate.

Shashi Tharoor

If we look at the events of recent days, Shashi Tharoor's statement and post on X or after winning the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Shashi Tharoor had said that he would not contest the next election for parliament. Earlier, the Modi government had selected him for the all-party delegation's visit to the US for Operation Sindoor. Tharoor's differences with the Congress and his closeness to the Modi government, especially after becoming a part of the government's outreach program on Operation Sindoor, have been making headlines for the last few days. A senior journalist wrote on X, ' Two prominent Union ministers of the NDA and Shashi Tharoor are potential contenders for the post of Vice President .'

Arif Mohammad Khan

Arif Mohammad Khan is currently the Governor of Bihar. He was the former Governor of Kerala . He is known as a popular and outspoken politician. His visit to Delhi and his activism in political instability have raised this possibility within the BJP and NDA alliance. Considering its representation and image, the BJP leadership can consider such names who can strike a balance in matters of constitution, secularism and public discourse. Arif Mohammad Khan's image has been that of a " liberal Muslim" who distanced himself from the Congress in the Shah Bano case in history and raised his voice for the rights of Muslim women.
