‘Sab ulta ho gaya’: Shehzad Poonawalla says ‘Congi ecosystem’ is paying journalists to attack him after BJP exit
In a late-night video, Shehzad Poonawalla said Congress members reached out to him expecting him to turn against the BJP.
Shehzad Poonawalla, recently expelled from the BJP, has been issuing scathing criticism against the Congress, asserting that the party's "ecosystem" is incentivizing right-wing journalists and social media outlets to target him. In a recent statement on X, Poonawalla claimed that the Congress had anticipated his departure from the BJP and intended for him to become a vocal critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.
Poonawalla lambasted the "Congi ecosystem" for encouraging right-wing journalists and social media handles to attack him, but argued that their efforts were backfiring as those same media platforms were publishing multiple stories about him daily on Instagram for visibility. In a late-night Instagram video, Poonawalla vowed to prevent Rahul Gandhi from becoming Prime Minister in the future, calling the Congress ecosystem "meltdown" and claiming that they were holding their heads in shame.
