New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has apparently resigned from the party, the buzz around his alleged departure gained steam after all traces of the party from his X (formerly Twitter) bio were erased.

According to sources, Poonawalla’s X bio now reads “lifelong follower of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” and has no mentions of his position in the party.

The bio of Poonawalla previously listed his designation as a “BJP National Spokesperson”.

The latest bio, however, mentions his ideology and refers to a book written by him as well.
