BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla dominated headlines with his witty yet scathing takedown of Congress, rebranding it ‘I Need Chair’ amid Karnataka’s leadership frenzy. Speaking in New Delhi, he wove a narrative of opposition dysfunction on domestic and international fronts.
Commending Modi’s diplomacy, Poonawalla highlighted unprecedented honors from Israel and Palestine. ‘This dual recognition affirms India’s peace advocacy and PM’s global stature,’ he emphasized, indicting domestic foes for elevating vote banks above diplomacy.
Kerala’s assault on a minister under LDF rule sparked Poonawalla’s fury. ‘Common people suffer when even cabinet members are vulnerable,’ he warned, blaming Congress-Left for fostering a culture of violence.
In Karnataka, internal rivalries boil over. Shivakumar-Siddaramaiah clashes now include Parameshwara’s ambitions, compounded by 31 MLAs’ cabinet pleas. Poonawalla’s punchline: ‘Indian National Congress? More like I Need Chair – power-hungry, not people-focused.’
Congress’s AI Summit missteps, ruled anti-constitutional by courts, cap a string of blunders. Poonawalla’s monologue signals BJP’s aggressive 2024 strategy, contrasting stability with opposition disarray.
