Gopal Kanda contested the 2009 Haryana Assembly election from Sirsa as an Independent candidate.
He won the constituency and entered the Haryana Legislative Assembly for the first time.
His election marked the beginning of his formal political career.
Following his election, Kanda became part of the Haryana Government and served as a Minister of State.
The Haryana Vidhan Sabha records him as a former Minister of State and identifies 2009 as one of his two Assembly election victories.
His first term established him as a notable political figure in Haryana.
In 2014, Gopal Kanda founded the Haryana Lokhit Party.
The formation of the party represented an effort to create an independent political platform in Haryana and marked an important transition in his political career.
Although he did not return to the Assembly in 2014, Kanda remained active in public and political life.
His political organisation continued to maintain its presence in Haryana, particularly in Sirsa.
The 2019 Haryana Assembly election marked Kanda’s return to electoral politics.
Contesting Sirsa on the Haryana Lokhit Party ticket, he won the constituency and returned to the Legislative Assembly.
The Haryana Vidhan Sabha records 2019 as his second Assembly election victory.
During his second term, Kanda remained an important political figure in Sirsa and Haryana.
His position also attracted national attention during the government-formation discussions that followed the 2019 Haryana Assembly election.
His political journey during this period was marked by continued engagement with the constituency and state-level political developments.
Gopal Kanda contested the 2024 Haryana Assembly election from Sirsa on the Haryana Lokhit Party ticket.
He received 71,786 votes and finished second. Congress candidate GokulSetia won the constituency with 79,020 votes.
Although the result ended his second consecutive term in the Assembly, it represented another closely contested electoral battle in a constituency with which Kanda has maintained a longstanding association.
For Gopal Kanda, politics has always been closely connected with Sirsa.
His political journey reflects more than election victories and defeats. It represents a long-standing relationship with a constituency that has remained central to his public life.
