Besides, 184 Independent candidates are in the fray. The Panthak Seva Dal had 42 candidates. Three had withdrawn their names.Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Managing Committee (DSGMC) polls is set to be multi-cornered. Again, like Punjab, and the groups opposing Badal clan-led SAD have failed to come on a common platform. However, efforts are still on to work out some understanding among the groups.

At present, five different groups are fielding their candidates: SAD unit headed by DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK; Paramjit Singh Sarna-led SAD (Delhi), which earlier controlled the DSGMC; Panthak Sewa Dal headed by AAP MLA Avtar Singh Kalkaji; former Akal Takht jathedar Bhai Ranjit Singh's Akal Sahai Welfare Society; and former Darbar Sahib Hazoori ragi Beldev Singh Wadala's Sikh Sadbhawana Dal.

Panthak Sewa Dal was formed recently by Sikh activists sympathizing with AAP and it is headed by party MLA Avtar Singh Kalka.
