He is stable and under observation and a group of doctors is monitoring his condition. He assumed office as the 14th Vice President of India on August 11, 2022, and has had a long and distinguished political career.

There can be no interest higher than national interest. Personal and political interests are insignificant,” he stated while addressing a convocation ceremony of Jan Nayak Chaudhary Devi Lal Vidyapeeth (JCD) in Haryana’s Sirsa.
