Dhankhar will be succeeding Venkaiah Naidu and assuming the nation's second highest post, he will also be serving as the Chairman of Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament. 

With the huge triumph, Dhankhar will be succeeding Venkaiah Naidu as India's next Vice President and Rajya Sabha's next chairman. 

As Jagdeep Dhankhar has a clear sight to become the nation's next Vice President, his elevation has sparked a big question - Who will be the next Governor of West Bengal?

While Dhankhar, the former Governor of West Bengal, was the candidate of the ruling coalition, the opposition parties jointly fielded Margaret Alva as their candidate.
