were

to

chartered
plane
by
Sirsa
MP
Sunita
Duggal.
Kanda and Singh told the media before boarding the plane that they will support the party which will work for the development of Sirsa.
Duggal refused to comment on rushing the two Independent MLAs to the national capital. All she said was, "It is an internal matter of the BJP."
Assembly poll results show people's trust in Haryana, Maharashtra chief ministers, says Modi
While Kanda won from Sirsa, Singh, the brother of former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala, won the Rania seat.
After
being
denied
ticket
by
the
Congress,
Singh
had
entered
the
fray
as
an
Independent.

Haryana got a fractured mandate, resulting in a hung Assembly, with the BJP winning 40 seats, Congress 31, JJP 10, independents 8 and INLD one.
