Actor-turned-politician Sunny Deol, who joined the BJP in April, is the party’s candidate from Punjab’s Gurdaspur constituency. The constituency was previously represented by actor Vinod Khanna , who won the seat four times for BJP. On the campaign trail, Deol has said he doesn’t know much about politics but called himself a patriot who wanted to work for the country. Asked about what he will do for Gurdaspur, he told Economic Times, “I don’t want to say much as I am new here. I am here to serve people; if I win maybe I will have an opinion, right now I don’t.”
