Shehzad Poonawalla, who recently resigned from all posts in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), continued his attack on the Congress on Wednesday, while taking repeated swipes at Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
Poonawalla shared a video compilation of his media interactions and said he would always remain grateful to former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi for giving India Rahul Gandhi, whom he credited for ensuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s victories in the 2014, 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Sharing the video on Wednesday, Poonawalla said, “Forever indebted to Shri Rajiv Gandhi ji He gave us @RahulGandhi who ensured PM @narendramodi became PM in 2014,19,24 and will become PM again in 2029 ♥️ Inshallah Rajiv Gandhi, is therefore the biggest Modi ji supporter like me.”
Rahul Gandhi will forever remain a Pappu. Earlier reporting noted: Ruling out his return to the Congress after he left the party in 2017, Poonawalla said: “I will join the Congress on one condition: Remove Rahul Gandhi, remove Sonia Gandhi, remove Priyanka Vadra, apologise for Nehru’s actions.
Sharing another clip of a TV interview with former Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha, Poonawalla mounted the attack on the grand old party over the row surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “dimagi Naxal” remark from the Independence Day speech. “They should have been called बददिमगी [brainless] Naxal,” Poonawalla said in the post. In the most recent post, Poonawalla said, Rahul Gandhi Was a Pappu, Rahul Gandhi is a Pappu. Earlier reporting noted: Shehzad Poonawalla rules out Congress return, sets cheeky condition involving Gandhi family Shehzad Poonawalla, who recently quit as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson, quipped that he would consider rejoining the Congress only if party leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were “removed”. Earlier reporting noted: Lauding the ruling party at the Centre, Poonawalla said: “I am not a bhavishya vakta (future teller) like Rahul Gandhi, but all I can say in the present moment is that there is no greater leader this country has had, or will have, than Prime Minister Modi.”
Poonawalla on Monday stated that he has submitted his resignation letter to BJP national president Nitin Nabin, requesting that he accept it.
