Peeling layers & some Hard myths- Sitting down with Shehzad Poonawalla was like sitting down with a kindred spirit filled with Main of Humor & Side of Sarcasm… which by the way I totally enjoy. His 360° storytelling spans from student activism and legal battles to national politics—the arc of his journey is rich narrative material.In this fearless conversation, national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla joins Shweta’s Talkies to share his bold political journey — from Congress to BJP, from student activism to national debates.Watch Shehzad talk about:• Why did he challenge Congress leadership• The real reason behind his shift to the BJP• The Real Difference Between BJP & Congress for Indian Voters• His views on corruption, politics, and governance• Insights on social media politics, youth engagement, and cultural identityWhether you support Congress or BJP, this political interview dives deep into the truth behind headlines, blind spots, and what drives a public voice in modern India. The trailblazer was born into an Agha Khani Muslim family from Pune—rooted in civic engagement and cultural pluralism earned a law degree and went on to complete a Master’s at MIT School of Government, Pune, with early engagement via NSUI student politics. He joined the Indian National Congress in 2008, but the Rebel Moment & Shift to BJP happened in 2017, where he boldly challenged Rahul Gandhi’s elevation as Congress President, against popular consensus and questioned the party’s dynastic structure . In Nov 2021, he was appointed as the in-charge of the BJP's social media wing for Delhi and also became a national spokesperson for the party & soon rose to become National Spokesperson, known for outspoken on issues like corruption, politics, and more. Regular on national news channels and digital panels, he speaks fluently on governance, women empowerment, education, health reform, and cultural identity. He is truly Contrarian Yet Consistent.Disclaimer: The views, opinions, and statements expressed in this video are solely those of the guest, Shehzad Poonawalla.
