Actor turned politician has stoked a controversy after appointing screenwriter Gurpreet Singh Palheri as his ‘aide’ to co-ordinate with government functionaries on his behalf.
Deol announced that Palheri will look after the affairs of his constituency on his behalf. Party insiders said Palheri had also been authorised to take up issues related to Gurdaspur with Deputy Commissioner Vipul Ujwal.

This guy is being paid around 2 lakh rupees per month, because of being an MP. In his full tenure, he’ll get 1.14 crore.
It’s all going from Indian tax payers pocket. Congratulations guys, you’ve just bought a very very expensive ticket of a super flop D-grade movie!
