NEW DELHI: BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla sparked rumours that he quit the saffron party after he changed his bio on X.In his latest bio, there's is no mention of BJP. "Religion Islam, Culture~Hindu,Ideology~Bhartiya : ✍️Author: GST Ki Yatra," specifies bio with added, "Lifelong follower of PM @narendramodi."Meanwhile his current bio on Insta still mentions "BJP Spokesperson" as did his earlier bio on X.

However, there has been no official confirmation from Poonawalla. He had joined BJP in December 2017 after calling the Congress's organisational polls a "sham". In 2021, he was also made in-charge of the BJP's social media wing for the national capital.

Poonawalla has been a vocal supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, frequently defending the party on television debates and social media while launching sharp attacks on the Congress and its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi.Shehzad is the younger brother of political commentator Tehseen Poonawalla. The two were once known to share a close bond, but their relationship soured over political differences, with the brothers frequently taking opposing positions and engaging in public spats in recent years.
