Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar: वकालत से सियासत में आए, बंगाल की ... (आज तक)

71 वर्षीय जगदीप धनखड़ ने विपक्ष की संयुक्त उम्मीदवार मार्गरेट अल्वा को पराजित कर दिया.

केंद्र सरकार ने 20 जुलाई 2019 को धनखड़ को पश्चिम बंगाल का गवर्नर नियुक्त किया था. अपने बयानों और पश्चिम बंगाल की मुख्यमंत्री ममता बनर्जी के साथ '36 के आंकड़ों' के लिए वह लगातार सुर्खियों में रहे हैं. उनके और ममता बनर्जी के बीच खुलकर मतभेद नजर आए थे. पश्चिम बंगाल सरकार बतौर राज्यपाल जगदीप धनखड़ को राज्य के निजी विश्वविद्यालयों में 'अतिथि' या 'विजिटर' के तौर पर हटाने के लिए कानून में संशोधन करने के बाद उन्हें उस पद से हटा दिया था. राजनीतिक विशेषज्ञों की मानें तो अगामी विधानसभा चुनाव और 2024 में लोकसभा चुनाव को देखते हुए बीजेपी ने जगदीप धनखड़ को उम्मीदवार घोषित किया था. भाजपा किसानों को यह संदेश देने की कोशिश कर रही है कि उनकी पार्टी किसान समर्थक है. इसके अलावा पार्टी ने जाट फैक्टर के मद्देनजर भी धनखड़ को चुना. कारण, 2023 और 2024 में राजस्थान और हरियाणा विधानसभा चुनाव होने हैं, जहां जाट मतदाताओं की बड़ी संख्या है. जिसके जरिए बीजेपी का जाट वोटरों को भी साधने का प्रयास है. जगदीप धनखड़ ने कानून की डिग्री लेने के लेने बाद वकालत शुरू कर दी और साल 1990 में उन्हें राजस्थान हाईकोर्ट में सीनियर एडवोकेट का ओहदा दिया गया. धनखड़ ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट से लेकर देश की कई हाईकोर्ट में वकालत की प्रैक्टिस की है. साल 1988 तक वह देश के प्रतिष्ठित वकीलों में शुमार हो गए थे. धनखड़ का राजनीतिक करियर करीब 30 वर्षों का है. साल 1989 में वह सक्रिय राजनीति में आए और इसी वर्ष 9वीं लोकसभा के लिए झुनझुनू से जनता दल के टिकट पर चुनाव जीतकर पहली बार सांसद चुने गए. 1990 में वह चंद्रशेखर की सरकार में संसदीय कार्य मंत्री की जिम्मेदारी भी निभा चुके हैं. इसके बाद उन्होंने राजस्थान की राजनीति में भी हाथ आजमाए. 1993 से लेकर 1998 तक वह विधायक भी रहे. 18 मई 1951 को राजस्थान के छोटे से जिले झुनझुनू के कैथाना गांव में जन्मे जगदीप धनखड़ के देश के दूसरे सबसे सर्वोच्च पद तक पहुंचने तक का सफर काफी दिलचस्प है. उनके पिता का नाम गोकल चंद और मां का नाम केसरी देवी है. जगदीप अपने चार भाई-बहनों में दूसरे नंबर पर आते हैं. उन्होंने गांव के ही सरकारी स्कूल से प्रारंभिक शिक्षा प्राप्त की. फिर सैनिक स्कूल में पढ़ाई के बाद उन्होंने राजस्थान के प्रतिष्ठित महाराज कॉलेज, जयपुर से ग्रेजुएशन की पढ़ाई कर फिजिक्स में BSE की डिग्री हासिल की. इसके बाद उन्होंने साल 1978 में जयपुर यूनिवर्सिटी में एलएलबी कोर्स में एडमिशन लिया. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar: देश को आज नया उपराष्ट्रपति (Vice President of India) मिल गया है. एनडीए के उम्मीदवार जगदीप धनखड़ (Jagdeep Dhankhar) ने शानदार और बड़े अंतर से जीत दर्ज की है. उपराष्ट्रपति (Vice President) पद के लिए 6 अगस्त यानी कि शनिवार को मतदान और इसी दिन मतगणना भी हुई. इस दौरान 725 वोट डाले गए, जिनमें से 528 वोट एनडीए उम्मीदवार जगदीप धनखड़ को मिले और 182 वोट विपक्ष की संयुक्त उम्मीदवार मार्गरेट अल्वा को मिले, जबकि 15 वोट अमान्य पाए गए. आंकड़ों के लिहाज से राष्ट्रपति चुनाव की तरह ये चुनाव भी एकतरफा नजर आ रहा था. 71 वर्षीय धनखड़ की जीत शुरू से ही सुनिश्चित लग रही थी. वह राजस्थान के प्रभावशाली जाट समुदाय से ताल्लुक रखते हैं और राजस्थान में जाट बिरादरी को आरक्षण दिलाने में इनकी अहम भूमिका रही थी.

Devi Lal called him from his home and offered a ticket of Janata Dal to contest from Jhunjhunu Lok Sabha constituency in 1989.” Dhankhar won the election and became minister of state (parliamentary affairs) in the V P Singh-led government when Devi Lal became Deputy Prime Minister. Ranjit Chautala said: “In 1987, Chaudhary Devi Lal had called for a rally of the Opposition at Boat Club in Delhi. Dhankhar brought as many as 500 vehicles full of people from Jhunjhunu to participate in the rally. Dhankhar had often sought details, especially details of expenditure, from the state government on various issues. A day later, The West Bengal Private University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022 was passed — to appoint the state education minister as Visitor of private universities in the state. Since his appointment to the Kolkata Raj Bhavan, Dhankhar had been virtually a one-man opposition in Bengal, having taken on the TMC government regularly over various issues. Last year, Biman Banerjee complained to the then President Ram Nath Kovind against Dhankhar for allegedly interfering in matters of the state government.

For Alva, the vice presidential election has been another comeback. The party has 36 MPs, including 23 in Lok Sabha. While the electoral college comprises 788 members, due to eight vacancies in Rajya Sabha, the actual strength is 780. In the past there had been four instances when candidates were elected unopposed to the post of the vice president who is also the chairperson of Rajya Sabha. The Trinamool Congress had abstained from voting claiming it was not consulted while naming Alva as the opposition pick. The numbers were stacked in favour of Dhankhar as the ruling BJP enjoys an absolute majority in Lok Sabha and has 91 members in Rajya Sabha. The BJP heads the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Jagdeep Dhankhar steps into a polarised House (The Hindu)

Jagdeep Dhankar will have to bank on his command over legislative affairs to handle the vastly deteriorated relationship between the Opposition and Treasury ...

While all this was a hefty political career in itself, Mr. Dhankhar burst onto the national consciousness when he was appointed West Bengal Governor in 2019. As the Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, where the Treasury and Opposition benches are frequently at loggerheads, he will need all these skills. After studying in a village school he won a scholarship to the Sainik School in Chittorgarh, and later got degrees in both physics and law from Rajasthan University. He practised law before foraying into a political career. In fact, the Rajya Sabha will have a unique “Chandra Shekhar connection” this time around. This signalled a vastly deteriorated relationship, and as the newly elected presiding officer of the Rajya Sabha, or the Upper House, the handling of this relationship would be the biggest challenge facing Vice-President-elect Jagdeep Dhankhar. Born on May 18, 1951 in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, Mr. Dhankhar’s beginnings were humble.

He was not just academically sound but also played good football and hockey,” said Rathi, while proudly revealing how even after 60 years of leaving school, Dhankhar replied to his message when Rathi sent him a congratulatory message after he was nominated as the vice-presidential candidate. Dhankhar would make sure to have her by his side on important occasions and programmes in the state. Dhankhar is known to be an avid reader of books and a sports aficionado. The TMC meanwhile had said that the governor’s post should be abolished and compared him with a white elephant. He had even appealed to the Bengali intelligentsia to break their silence. This had soured his relation with assembly speaker Biman Banerjee, who had complained to Kovind against the governor for allegedly interfering in governance. Ever since the TMC returned to power in May 2021 and alleged incidents of post-poll violence broke out, the governor had been lashing out at the TMC-led government over deterioration of law and order. Dhankhar’s political career started in 1989, when he was elected as a MP on a Janata Dal ticket from the Lok Sabha seat of Jhunjhunu. He served as a Union minister and chairman of a parliamentary committee in 1990. But he accepted it and summoned the assembly at 2am. Even in his last tweets as governor, Dhankhar had issued a veiled threat to elected representatives and bureaucrats. He would ensure that he never crossed the ambit and was politically correct. On Saturday, Dhankhar was elected as the vice-president of India.

His Jat identity is seen as one of the reasons for him to be nominated as NDA’s VP candidate. Dhankhar, once among the most powerful advocates in Rajasthan High Court, has also been a senior SC counsel. Banerjee, on many occasions, visited the Raj Bhavan unscheduled. And despite his public face-offs with CM Mamata Banerhee, the two have been known to be on cordial terms. New Delhi: After a decade in electoral politics through the ’90s, Jagdeep Dhankhar, once a senior counsel at the Supreme Court, went into a political hiatus. His actions, letters and statements, have always been too sharp for the government to counter them on legal or administrative ground, though leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress — including the Chief Minister — never shied away from calling him a “BJP leader’ and the Raj Bhavan an “RSS karyalaya”, blaming Dhankhar of “interference” in the government functioning.

After hanging his boots as an MLA, Dhankhar focused on legal career, practising as a lawyer in the Supreme Court. He also had a three-year stint as a member of the International Court of Arbitration in Paris. He is also known as an avid reader and a sports aficionado and has been the President of the Rajasthan Olympic Association, and Rajasthan Tennis Association. Dhankhar, who took to cricket in his school days and also had keen interest in spirituality and meditation, began his political journey with the Janata Dal and won the Lok Sabha elections in 1989, held under the shadow of the Bofors scandal, from Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan. He had a brief stint as Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs under Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar. Prior to his appointment as the West Bengal Governor in 2019, Dhankar was an unfamiliar name in the political circles, particularly so as the last public office he held was as the Member of Rajasthan Assembly from 1993-98 from the Congress party. A man of many interests, his long legal career at the Rajasthan High Court and the Supreme Court and a brief stint as the junior parliamentary affairs minister at the Centre will come in handy as he presides over the Rajya Sabha as its Chairman. Once a "reluctant politician", Jagdeep Dhankhar's reemergence in the political scene in 2019 as West Bengal governor surprised many, so has his rise to the office of the Vice President of India.

Jagdeep Dhankhar: 10 things to know about India's new Vice ... (Livemint)

Jagdeep Dhankhar becomes the 14th Vice President of India after winning the election by 528 votes against Margaret Alva who got 182 votes.

Jagdeep will serve as the 14th Vice President of the parliament. Jagdeep Dhankhar was appointed as the Governor of Bengal in 2019. He will play a crucial role in maintaining the balance between the government and the opposition in the Upper House in the coming time. Jagdeep Dhankhar has always been known to be an influential Jat leader in Rajasthan. He had played a major role in the Jat reservation issue in the state. A former member of Janta Dal, Jagdeep joined BJP in 2003. However, it was his legal expertise that let him maintain the centre's presence in TMC-ruled West Bengal. Fondly known as Tau, Chaudhary Devi Lal was the sixth deputy PM of India who had served under the tenure of two Prime Ministers, ie VP Singh, and Chandra Shekhar. He won the election on Janta Dal Ticket. During his tenure, he also held key positions in crucial departments. Jagdeep entered into politics when he won the Jhunjunu Lok Sabha seat in 1989. It was these values that he had drawn from his surrounding, that motivated him to walk six kilometers from his village to attend his school. I am confident he will be an outstanding Vice President. Our nation will gain tremendously from his intellect and wisdom. Congratulations to Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar Ji on being elected India’s Vice President with resounding support across party lines.
