Sunny Deol, local BJP MP, who found himself at the centre of a storm after he appointed a screenwriter as his representative, today clarified that his appointee would “ensure the smooth flow of work when I (Sunny Deol) am out of Gurdaspur to attend Parliament or travelling to work”.
The appointment of Gurpreet Singh Palheri, alias Giani, had surprised BJP leaders of the constituency.
After the media carried reports of Palheri’s appointment as the MP’s representative, senior party leaders claimed that the film actor could have done better by asking a person who had enough political experience and knowledge of the constituency to act as his PA.
