Shehzad Poonawalla, who was associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party, has announced his exit from the party. In a post on X, he said only the BJP can support a self-made person like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while other parties would only promote their own children and dynasties.
The announcement came after his X bio was updated without any mention of the BJP, which had already triggered speculation about his departure. A day earlier, Poonawalla had hinted at leaving active politics, saying the time had come to move on. The timing and content of his post made clear that he had decided to part ways with the party.
