Sunny Deol
The actorâs letter asking Punjab CM Amarinder Singh to clear the railway tracks in the state has infuriated protesting farmers, who say the MP is parroting the BJPâs line.
14-year-old Harmanjeet Kaur said that her family had been making firecrackers for generations and that she is not sure what they will do now.
Twitter has opinions too.
The Congress is set to win 8 seats in the state but the CM didnât waste the chance to take a dig at his bĂȘte noire.
Deol, who has been candid about his lack of political knowledge, was contesting against Congress' Sunil Jhakhar.
Though the Shiromani Akali Dal left no stone unturned in raising the emotive issue of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the Congress has managed to counter this with the sensitive sacrilege incidents and the killing of two young men at Bargari in Faridkot district in 2015.
The actor, who has been frank about his lack of political knowledge, seems to have read the pulse of Gurdaspurâless Modi and Balakot, more âGadarâ and âdhai kilo ka haathâ.
Sunny Deol said he was a patriot who wants to work for the country.
Deol is pitted against sitting MP and Congress candidate Sunil Jakhar, AAPâs Peter Masih and PDAâs Lal Chand in the electoral fight.
The party has also nominated Kirron Kher from Chandigarh.
