BJP’s TV face Shehzad Poonawala doubles down on resignation, cites finances

Shehzad Poonawala, a prominent television spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has reaffirmed his decision to resign from the party, citing urgent financial and personal issues. In a letter to BJP National President Nitin Nabin, Poonawala offered to resign from both his primary membership and role as National Spokesperson.

Despite the party's initial refusal to accept his resignation earlier in July, Poonawala emphasized his continued support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP's vision. He expressed deep gratitude for the guidance, love, respect, and platform provided by the party and its leaders, including Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh. Poonawala removed his BJP affiliation from his X biography following his resignation announcement.
