In a letter issued on the letterhead of the Gurdaspur MP, Deol appointed Gurpreet Singh Palheri as his "representative" to "attend meetings and follow important matters".
Deol won the Lok Sabha election even after facing a triangular battle Sunil Jakhar of Congress and Peter Masih of AAP. He had joined the BJP ahead of the general elections saying that he is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
