After ND Sharma claimed that he was asked for money, he said that he was an honest man and he does not have so much money. This comes after a former Congress MLA from the same constituency, Ram Singh Netaji joined the Aam Aadmi Party, just weeks ahead of the February 8 Assembly elections. After he joined the party, speculations claiming that he might get a ticket for the elections had also surfaced.
