Sharma also claimed that his party is working for the progress of every section of society, irrespective of caste and religion.

The 2022 UP Assembly elections will be fought on the agenda of development as the opposition does not have any issues, Sharma said.

UP's Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi said people working for farmers are being termed as anti-farmer by the opposition while those in whose regime farmers committed suicides are proclaiming themselves to be pro-farmer.
