Sirsa was the only constituency in the 90-seat Haryana assembly where the ruling BJP did not field its candidate. Congress had alleged that it was been done to offer indirect support to Kanda. The INLD, which contested the elections against the BJP and Congress in the state, also did not field any candidate from the seat and extended its support to Kanda. Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) senior leader Abhay Singh Chautala had even campaigned for Kanda in the constituency.
