Speculation is growing over whether BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has decided to quit the party after he changes the political party reference in his X (formerly Twitter) bio. Multiple reports say that, in an update to his profile, the X bio no longer mentions any party affiliation, prompting online discussion about a possible departure. Times of India notes that while his X bio has been altered, his Instagram bio continues to describe him as a BJP spokesperson, adding to the uncertainty. The reports also point to earlier remarks by Poonawalla, who said the “time has come to move on from active politics,” a statement made a day before the bio change. Sources agree that Poonawalla joined the BJP in December 2017 and has been a vocal supporter. None of the outlets report any official confirmation from the BJP or from Poonawalla regarding whether he remains with the party or has exited. The situation is therefore described as rumor and speculation rather than confirmed developments.
