Since Shehzad Poonawalla, Bharatiya Janata Partyโs national spokesperson, removed the BJP from his bio on X (formerly Twitter), there are whispers of him leaving the party, but there is no official confirmation regarding the same. However, in his X bio, Poonawalla calls himself ย a โlifelong follower” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
ย
Shehzad Poonawalla updated his X (formerly Twitter) profile bio, dropping the designation “National Spokesperson, BJP”. His updated bio reads: “Religion: Islam, Culture: Hindu, Ideology: Bhartiya. Author: GST Ki Yatra; Lifelong follower of PM Narendra Modi.”
ย
The leader did not mention any reason behind updating his bio, which led to speculations of Poonawalla leaving the BJP due to โpersonal reasonsโ.
ย
After quitting the Congress party in 2017 over a fallout regarding its leadership elections, Poonawalla joined the BJP and rose to become a national spokesperson. Known for his aggressive debate style and staunch support of PM Modi, he has been an outspoken critic of Congress and its top leadership, particularly Rahul Gandhi.
