Our morale is so high that nobody can defeat us. Nobody can stop 'netaji' from becoming the Prime Minister," he added.
Sharma further said the Samajwadi Party performed exceptionally well in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls because of some effective political principles propagated by Mulayam Singh Yadav.

"Dimple Yadav is the daughter-in-law of 'netaji' (Mulayam Singh Yadav) and the wife of our honourable chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav. The whole region wants Dimple Yadav to become a Member of Parliament and eventually raise the problems faced by the people," he added.
