Since Deol was elected to the Constituent Assembly, Deol has been criticized by rival parties. The actor-turned-politician last visited the Gurdaspur Pathankot sector in September 2020 to meet with senior officials to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues. He also met with selected people from the general public.The next visit took place six months after the previous visit. However, he avoided public speaking due to growing anger among farmers over the repeal of three major agricultural laws.
Deol also did not campaign for the candidate of the BJP and its allies in the recent Punjab general election. In the entire Majha region, the BJP was only able to secure one seat, Pathankot. At this meeting, BJP Chairman Ashwani Sharma elected the MLA.
