Talking about NRIs, he said, "The Prime Minister has elevated India’s stature. Many people are coming back home. The NRIs are investing in many sectors."
He also appreciated Narendra Modi for his foreign policies. "Due to our foreign policies, the Chinese President broke his protocol and came personally to welcome him."
Sharma attacked the Congress saying that their 60 years of rule is not worth discussing. He said, "What we are doing is going to change India for the best." Rubbishing all the claims made by opposition parties, Sharma said, "Opposition thinks we only work for capitalists but we should not concentrate on them. We should continue with our work."
