Hundreds of people lined up along the road to catch a glimpse of the actor who reached the venue almost three-and-half-hours late. Sporting an olive green shirt and blue jeans Deol started the roadshow around 5.30 pm from Hari Nagar bus depot, which passed through Jail Road in Tilak Nagar before culminating at Raja Garden. He started the road show atop a truck, which carried a hand pump, and few metres from the bus depot. Later climbed atop a Range Rover along with Verma and BJP MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa. Flower petals were showered and people were busy taking snaps of the actor-turned-politician as his cavalcade passed though the area. Songs from the movie 'Border' -- starring Deol -- and his dialogues from the film 'Gadar' were played in the backdrop. People carrying cutouts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Verma and Deol were seen walking in the crowd. In the Sikh dominated seat, Deol greeted the crowd by 'Jo bole so nihaal'. There was massive traffic jam on both the carriageways of Jail road because of the roadshow while in Rajouri Garden, a vehicle carrying mediapersons and Verma supporters was stopped by police for playing loudspeaker after 10 pm and they were dispersed.

That is what the BJP has done to corruption," a supporter told HT.

The actor, known for his on-screen machismo, was canvassing from a packed truck when a woman climbed on the vehicle and gave him a peck on the cheek. The actor, visibly concerned for the woman's safety, saw to it that his supporter got off the truck without an incident. The whole incident was caught on the camera and has been widely shared on social media. The Gurdaspur seat was held by another BJP star Vinod Khanna. After his death, Congress's Sunil Jakhar won the bypolls in 2017. In 2019, the BJP fielded Mr Deol, a debutante, to exploit his mass appeal as an actor. #WATCH: Actor-turned-politician Sunny Deol who is the BJP candidate from Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat was kissed on his cheek by a woman during his roadshow in Batala, Punjab yesterday. pic.twitter.com/YTQvNDzRYL — ANI (@ANI) May 9, 2019 He is the second generation of Deols to have entered politics.
