Phagwara,October 17

Bollywood star and Gurdaspur MP Sunny Deol today held a roadshow here in favour of BJP candidate Rajesh Bagha.

BJP state chief Shwait Malik, Union Minister Som Parkash, Phagwara Mayor Arun Khosla, leader Rajiv Pahwa and former minister Tikshan Sood were present on the occasion.

An enthusiastic crowd vied for a glimpse of the actor and tried to click photos. Deol threw his fists in the air and flashed the victory sign. Hundreds of vehicles also lined up along the elevated road to witness the roadshow. Many youths even attempted to climb on the vehicle to take a selfie with the actor, but were stopped by the police.

Even as Deol did not address any gathering, Bagha and Som Parkash expressed their gratitude to the MP for taking out time for giving a push to the campaign.

The roadshow started from the local BJP office and passed through key areas of the city. Though the procession was to cover more areas, the actor left midway near Chadha Market at 5.08 pm. He was scheduled to reach Mukerian to attend another roadshow in support of BJP candidate Mukerian Jangi Lal Mahajan. The local roadshow, however, continued even after Deol’s departure.
