I had to walk around 6km to my school,” said Dhankhar, who recently quit as West Bengal Governor. He was appointed as the Governor of West Bengal in 2019. Around 93 per cent polling was recorded in the vice presidential election on Saturday, with more than 50 MPs not exercising their franchise.

New Delhi [India], June 7 (ANI): Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar held an interaction with the officer trainees of Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) and said that the rise of India is indigestible in some quarters adding that some individuals who are not well disposed towards the nation are taking a lopsided and shortsighted approach while looking at the ground reality of the country. While addressing the officer trainees of IDES on Tuesday, VP Jagdeep Dhankar said, “You will find people in and out of the country trying to calibrate us, we cannot allow others to calibrate us. The rise of India is indigestible in some quarters because this country believes in the peace and harmony of all nations.” “When you are marching ahead, never carry the baggage of yesterday on your shoulders. If you do that, chances are your progress will be impeded. You have to look in the rear-view mirror because then you know those who are not well-disposed to our nation, those who are out to taint, tarnish and destroy our institutions,” he added. In his address, he further stated that India is a forward-looking nation and those who say that India is not rising are running away from reality. “We are a forward-looking nation. To say that we believe in having a look in the rearview mirror is a lopsided, short-sighted approach to looking at the ground reality. To say that India’s Rise is not taking place is like being an ostrich, not seeing the reality,” VP Dhankar said. “Our rise is in the figures...
