The BJP has decided to field actor Sunny Deol from Punjab's Gurdaspur constituency. The party has also decided to field Kirron Kher from Chandigarh.

The actor, Sunny, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday in presence of Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, days after he met BJP president Amit Shah at Pune airport.

"The way my father (film star Dharmendra) was attached with Atal ji, today I have come to join Modi ji. Whatever I can do for this family (BJP), I will do it... I won't talk, I will show you through my work," Deol said while addressing the media at the Bharatiya Janata Party office in New Delhi.
