Speaking to News18, Sharma said, “Based on my surveys, I had told the CM that he needed to change the sitting MLAs and also pay heed to the paper leak issue mentioned by Sachin ji. Their infighting took a toll on the party in an election we could have won,”

“It’s common knowledge for sure that where he was going, who he was meeting, who he was speaking to was kept track of,” added Sharma.
