He also appears to be a follower of the Argentina-born Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, as well as freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, whose bravest exploits included throwing two non-lethal bombs in Parliament in 1929, during British rule, and courting arrest to have their voices heard...

On 25 August 2021, Sharma shared a post about Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharamans announcement of the governments Rs 6 lakh crore asset monetisation plan to partly fund its ambitious infrastructure projects over four years ending 2024-25..
