In his first interview after resigning from the BJP, Shehzad Poonawalla speaks exclusively to NDTV about why he decided to quit, speculation over his exit, the new BJP leadership team and his decision to move into the private space. Poonawalla rejects suggestions that he left because he was unhappy with the new party setup, explains his campaign for lower or zero personal income tax, and insists that his political values remain unchanged. He also makes it clear that he continues to strongly support Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him the best leader India has had and reaffirming that the BJP remains far better than the Congress.
