India's President Draupadi Murmu accepted his resignation with immediate effect. Throughout his career, Jagdeep assumed various roles and maintained affiliations with various political parties, including the BJP, Congress, and Janata Dal, all of which left their mark on Indian politics.

His journey with the BJP started in 2003, and he was closely associated with Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In fact, it was this association that led him to join the Bharatiya Janata Party. Coming to Jagdeep Dhankhar's personal life, he is married to Sudesh Dhankhar, who completed her Ph.D. between 2013-22 at Banasthali Vidyapith.

Jagdeep Dhankhar's Son Deepak's Passing

However, a significant tragedy in Jagdeep Dhankhar's life was the death of his only son, Deepak, in 1994. According to various reports, Deepak passed away at just 14 due to a brain hemorrhage, and this shattered Jagdeep Dhankhar.

His lawyer practice helped him big time to overcome the grief as well. Jagdeep is also known to be a person who always helps his family and fellow villagers. Multiple people have revealed that Jagdeep constructed a computer center, a library, and a sewing center for girls in his village. Jagdeep Dhankhar's rise in politics has greatly benefited his village, and although his resignation is sudden and unexpected, he has served the nation for a long time; it may now be time for him to concentrate solely on his health and rest.
