Shehzad Poonawalla, a spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has removed all references to the party from his X (formerly Twitter) biography, fueling speculation that he may be leaving the party. The change was noticed on his official X account, where his profile previously identified him as a BJP spokesperson but now omits any mention of the party or his role.
His Instagram bio, however, still lists him as a BJP spokesperson, creating a discrepancy that has heightened uncertainty about his status. Poonawalla, who joined the BJP in December 2017, has been a vocal supporter of the party and a familiar presence in political debates.
There has been no official confirmation from Poonawalla, the BJP, or party leadership regarding the bio change or his future with the organization. The move has sparked rumors in political circles that Poonawalla could be preparing for a change in affiliation, though no details have emerged about any planned move. Neither the politician nor the party has issued a statement addressing the speculation.
