Gunpal is not the only BJP candidate to receive so less votes in his respective constituency. However, as per locals, the main cause for Gunpal's loss was because Rajbir Singh Lala, who is brother of incumbent BJP MP from Bhiwani Dharambir Singh, which confused the voters to either vote for BJP candidate or an MP's brother.
