Shehzad Poonawalla's updated X bio has fuelled speculation about his status in the BJP after it removed any reference to the party and instead described him as a lifelong follower of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The change comes after a series of earlier posts in which he hinted at stepping away from active politics. Separately, remarks by his brother, political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla, have also drawn public attention in recent days. However, there has been no official confirmation that Shehzad Poonawalla has resigned from the BJP.
