From the start of counting of votes at 8 am on Thursday, Deol has been maintaining a lead over Punjab Congress chief Jakhar.
Speaking to reporters, 59-year-old Deol, who is popular for playing patriotic roles in movies like ‘Border’ and ‘Gadar’, said he was ecstatic over the initial trends coming during the counting of votes.
“I am feeling good and I am very happy. Modiji is winning. I was confident that people of this constituency (Gurdaspur) love me a lot and will ensure my victory,” Deol said.

Jakhar, who is the sitting MP from Gurdaspur, had won the seat in a byelection in 2017 following the death of BJP MP and actor Vinod Khanna.
Khanna had remained MP from this seat four times in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2014.
