Vice-President workplace was knowledgeable of his, Rijiju’s incapability to attend BAC assembly, says Nadda

Union Minister J.P. Nadda on Tuesday (July 22, 2025) stated the Vice-President’s workplace was knowledgeable that he and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju wouldn’t attend a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) assembly convened by Jagdeep Dhankhar final night, shortly earlier than he resigned from the put up.

Mr. Nadda’s remarks got here after Congress chief Jairam Ramesh raised questions over the absence of the chief of the Rajya Sabha and Mr. Rijiju on the BAC.

“The Vice-President’s office was intimated about our inability to attend the meeting,” stated Mr. Nadda, the Union Health Minister and BJP president, when requested about Mr. Ramesh’s claims.

He was talking to reporters after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a gathering with senior ministers, together with Mr. Nadda, Mr. Rijiju, Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal.

Mr. Dhankhar resigned on Monday (July 21, 2025) night, citing medical causes. He despatched his resignation to President Droupadi Murmu and stated he was stepping down with fast impact.

The Congress on Tuesday (July 22, 2025) claimed the explanations behind Mr. Dhankhar’s resignation are “far deeper” than well being points cited by him.

Mr. Ramesh claimed Mr. Dhankhar “took umbrage” as Nadda and Rijiju skipped the BAC assembly.
