The first time MP Sunny Deol from BJP has appointed Gurpreet Palheri as his representative to attend meetings and follow important matters pertaining to his parliamentary constituency Gurdaspur. It is still unclear if an MP can technically appoint a representative to take care of his constituency, the Punjab government has provided Palheri security and official vehicle.

Sunny Deol’s representative Gurpreet Palheri in defence of the MP said:
“We are there in Gurdaspur 24×7. We have our offices there. Sunny Deol has a proper plan in place to ensure that we are available to the people of Gurdaspur anytime. The appointment is for local issues. It is like being in 24-hour service of the people of Gurdaspur.”
“It is wrong to assume that he is running away from his responsibilities. He is visiting the constituency regularly and will continue to do it. He has prepared a team and we all are a part of it. I am not the lone representative. The letter is irrelevant in that context. He simply means that every ground level worker can be approached in Gurdaspur and he will help you.”
Oppositions are targetting Deol of spending more time in Mumbai than in his constituency. The Punjab cabinet minister said it is a betrayal against the voters of the border constituency.
This move by Sunny Deol comes under heavy criticism and Twitter is showing it openly.

Why is this even allowed? If he can’t find time for lakhs of people whom he represents now, his MP election should be declared null and void and fresh elections should be conducted!

When Sunny Deol is such a busy man that he has to outsource his work, why did he even contest elections? https://t.co/VZWmqlIOAU

People of Gurdaspur elected Sunny Deol not Gurpreet Palheri, Sunny Deol took an oath as MP not Gurpreet Palheri. So you don’t get to make this choice – at best you can ask Gurpreet Palheri to act in the movies on your behalf.
