Is there a constitutional crisis?
Jagdeep Dhankhar raised these questions quietly. First, there will be no constitutional crisis because the constitution has sufficient directives to deal with the situation. According to the constitutional provisions, the vice president is the president of the upper parliament and their roles are taken over by the Vice President. After the VV Introduction and S Radhakrishan stopped appealing the presidential elections, his roles were taken over by Gopal Swarup Pathak and Shankar -based Sharma respectively. Vice President Harivansh Naran Singh will fulfill his duties in Rajya Sabha. So, there is no constitutional crisis.
Although the Constitution has announced the provisions of the election of the president within six months after the evacuation of the office, there is no such provision for the Vice President’s Office. The Constitution says that only the new vice president should be selected as ‘possible as soon as possible’. Since the upper house of the parliament is a permanent room, it is never solved unlike Lok Sabha. The new president can be elected ‘as soon as possible’ and the speaker will continue to fulfill his duties. Even if the election is postponed for certain reasons, there is no constitutional crisis.
