Turban-clad Sunny Deol raises poll pitch in Punjab's Gurdaspur with power-packed speech | Watch
With turban wrapped on his head and emphatic sloganeering, actor and BJP candidate from Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat Sunny Deol on Monday raised poll pitch as he reminded voters of his patriotic character from the movie Gadar. Deol made a brief yet powerful speech in which he called himself a "patriot" who does not know much about politics.
Sunny Deol addressed the crowd in Punjab, beginning with: "Mere Gurdaspur walo, Sat Sri Akal."
“Eh dhai kilo da hathh je kise te penda hai, tan oh uthda nahin, utth jaanda hai,” he said, recalling what his character had mouthed in the 1993 movie “Damini” -- anybody who gets hit by his two-and-a-half-kilo fist is dead.
Before ending his speech, Deol said, “Hindustan Zindabad, Zindabad hai, Zindabad rahega” -- again a piece of dialogue from `Gadar'. Deol, who is a Jat Sikh, wore a yellow turban.
