In social Media X, Ramesh stated, “In a truly unprecedented move, Shri Jagdeep Dhankar has resigned. He has given health reasons for doing so. Those should be respected. But it is also a fact that there are far deeper reasons for his resignation. While always lauding post-2014 India, he spoke fearlessly for the welfare of farmers, forcefully against what he called ‘Ahankar’ in public life, and strongly on judicial accountability and restraint.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar chaired the Business Advisory Committee of the Rajya Sabha at 12:30 PM on Monday. It was attended by most members, including Leader of the House JP Nadda and the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju. After some discussion, the BAC decided to meet again at 4:30 PM.
At 4:30 PM, the BAC reassembled under the chairmanship of VP Jagdeep Dhankar. It waited for Nadda and Rijiju to arrive. As they didn’t come, the Vice President rescheduled the BAC for Tuesday at 1 PM.
Jairam Ramesh said, “Something very serious happened yesterday between 1 PM and 4:30 PM to account for the deliberate absence of Shri Nadda and Shri Rijiju from the second BAC yesterday.”
