A big news has come out about former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. He will soon leave the government residence found as Vice President. However, he has not yet received government housing, which is given to the former Vice President. Therefore, he is ready to live in Chhatarpur Enclave in South Delhi.
Jagdeep Dhankar has applied for pension for himself in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. Please tell that he has been an MLA on a Congress ticket in Rajasthan. After becoming the Vice President, he stopped getting that pension, but now he can get pension as a former MLA because there is a rule in Rajasthan that if a person also becomes an MP and minister after the MLA, then he also gets pension of different posts.
Jagdeep Dhankar resigns on 21 July
Let us know that elections for the post of Vice President are to be held on September 9 and Jagdeep Dhankhar (74) will have to vacate the Vice President’s residence at Church Road near Parliament House Complex. He resigned from his post on July 21, citing health reasons.
Jagdeep Dhankhar shifted to the official residence of the Vice President in April last year. According to sources, they will remain in Chhatarpur Enclave until they get government housing. According to the rules, the bungalow of Type-8 is allotted to former Presidents, Vice Presidents and Prime Ministers. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (Directorate of Estates) is provided by the housing for their stay.
Consent on former Vice President’s residence is not yet agreed
Ministry officials met Dhankar, but the topic of his residence was not discussed. Dhankhar’s office has made a formal request for housing as per the rules. A source said, “After receiving the request, the former Vice President can be given several options. After selection, the Central Public Works Department initiates necessary action, including the amendments.
Let us know that this whole process usually takes at least three months. However, sources said that in this process, no talk has moved forward, so Dhankhar has opted for a private residence for himself.
