‘Have no interest’: Poonawalla on buzz claiming he should succeed Malviya as social media head

Poonawalla, the national spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has dismissed rumors that he yearned to replace Amit Malviya as the social media head. Deepak Mhaskey was appointed as the social media convenor, while Priti Gandhi, Shivanand Dwivedi, Alok Bhatt, and Arun Yadav were designated as co-convenors. Poonawalla stated that Malviya put in significant effort, particularly for West Bengal, but a change was necessary.

He emphasized that it was incorrect to suggest he was removed due to personal interest in the role. Poonawalla, who has left the party and called for his resignation, firmly stated that he had no interest in overseeing the party's social media affairs. He acknowledged that the task may appear attractive from the outside but is challenging in reality.
