New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has reportedly resigned from the party. According to sources cited by CNN-News18, Poonawalla tendered his resignation to the party's top leadership, citing personal reasons behind the decision.

Social Media Updates and Bio Changes

Following the development, changes were observed on Poonawalla's social media presence. In his updated profile on the platform X (formerly Twitter), all references to his role as a national spokesperson for the BJP have been removed. However, his updated bio continues to describe him as a "lifelong follower" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Official Response Awaited

Neither the BJP leadership nor Poonawalla has released a formal, public statement regarding the resignation beyond the preliminary reports citing personal grounds.

Poonawalla joined the BJP following his departure from the Congress party in 2017 and quickly rose to prominence as a vocal defender of government policies and a regular fixture on prime-time television debates. Further details regarding the resignation are expected once an official statement is issued by the party.
