'Warm goodbye to the party I love': Shehzad Poonawalla resigns from BJP 'once again'

New Delhi: BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla has once again submitted his resignation from all party positions, requesting the party to accept it following his previous resignation being rejected. In a X post, Poonawalla stated he had "once again submitted" his resignation letter to BJP president Nitin Nabin, expressing appreciation for the party and its senior leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Minister of State for Home Nitin Gadkari, President of BJP and senior leader JP Nadda, and senior leader BL Santhosh.

Poonawalla acknowledged being "eternally grateful" for the opportunities provided by the BJP and the Sangh Parivar. He emphasized that no other country or party could have given him the platform to become a young, Pasmanda Muslim, non-dynasty figure. Despite his warm farewells, Poonawalla highlighted that certain recent events had reinforced his previous decision to leave the BJP.

He informed the party of his intention to move to the private sector due to financial and personal circumstances, while continuing to support BJP's vision under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Poonawalla stated he was only leaving the organizational setup (Vyavastha) but not the individual (Vyakti) or ideology (Vichar).
