Vinod Khanna's wife miffed with BJP

April 27, 2019 12:23

The news that actor Sunny Deol would contest the elections on a BJP ticket from Gurdaspur constituency hasn't been welcomed by all.

Kavita Vinod Khanna, the wife of the former actor-turned-MP, said she expected party ticket for Gurdaspur.

I understand that the party has a right to decide who the candidate is, but there is a way to do it, said Kavita Vinod Khanna, wife of the late actor and four-time MP Vinod Khanna.

The BJP has fielded actor Sunny Deol from the Gurdaspur constituency, a seat where Vinod Khanna used to represent.

I felt abandoned, rejected. I was made to feel absolutely insignificant. Nobody from the party called me to say there is another candidate. I was in Delhi when he [Sunny Deol] joined. I would have gone had they called. I have been approached by many other parties.

The BJP has my support, my PM has my support. At the same time, I have to insist that this can't happen again, because I am making a personal sacrifice.

She added: I'm confident that had I stood as an independent, I would have won.
