Shehzad Poonawalla Resigns from BJP Citing Financial, Personal Reasons, Urges Acceptance
Shehzad Poonawalla, BJP's national spokesperson, has twice submitted his resignation citing pressing financial and personal reasons, urging party president Nitin Nabin to accept it. Despite his departure from all party posts and primary membership, Poonawalla expressed gratitude to BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and affirmed continued support for the party's vision. He attributed his decision partly to issues involving unnamed individuals and plans to move to the private sector while maintaining ideological alignment with the BJP.
