Shehzad Poonawalla said he had been planning to quit the BJP since 2024, explaining that he had to choose between his job and politics.
I was in the service industry and had a salaried job, which I left. He added that he approached the party about his decision and was asked to reconsider, but he chose to stick to it. “I am sticking to my decision. However, Poonawalla added that BJP still remains the best platform for youth for middle class and anyone who joins politics. “In fact, only in the BJP can you speak independently. Whenever there were issues, the BJP would always call and discuss them. I will not work directly for the BJP, but I will continue to support its thoughts,” added Poonawalla.
“I have been planning this since 2024. I gave 24/7, 365 days to politics.
When I felt it was either my job or politics, I decided to resume my job,” Poonawalla said, in an interview with News24, explaining why he quit the party. A spokesperson does not get a salary; it is a voluntary position,” he said. Poonawalla further said that the BJP never put a restriction on him from speaking his mind.
