His updated X profile has also drawn attention. Poonawalla removed the BJP designation from his bio and retained references to his views on religion, Islam, culture, Hinduism and the Indian ideological perspective, along with a mention of his book GST Ki Yatra. He also continued to describe himself as a follower of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The development comes days after Poonawalla reportedly indicated that he was considering stepping away from active politics, further fueling speculation about his political future.
Poonawalla’s Connection with the Gandhi Family
Shehzad Poonawalla’s name has also been linked to the Gandhi family through a family connection. His wife, Tehseen Poonawalla’s sister, Monika Vadra, is related to Robert Vadra.

Robert Vadra is the husband of senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and the brother-in-law of Rahul Gandhi. Due to this family connection, Poonawalla’s name has occasionally been discussed in the context of the Gandhi family.
However, Shehzad Poonawalla has had no direct political association with Rahul Gandhi. As a BJP spokesperson, he has frequently criticised the Congress leader and the party on various political issues.
With Poonawalla’s reported resignation now making headlines, attention is focused on his next political move. Further clarity is expected once the BJP or Poonawalla issues an official statement on his resignation and future plans.
