Sharma is known to enjoy full confidence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He was Secretary, Ministry of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME). Prior to that he served as Secretary in Modi’s PMO for five years.

He resigned from the civil services on Monday and his resignation was accepted the same day. He is likely to join the BJP soon.

Mr Sharma joins a large list of bureaucrats joining politics. Only recently former Director General of Police (DGP) Law and Order, UP, Me Brij Lal was elected to the upper house of the Parliament on BJP ticket
