Addressing a gathering of party leaders and workers after taking over the charge, Sharma said, if the chief minister speaks "street language" then he will get a reply in the same coin.

“We know how to speak in a courteous way, but if that's the kind of language he speaks, then he will get the reply in the same coin,” Sharma, the Pathankot MLA, said. On the occasion of assuming charge, several prominent party leaders including Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar, Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, other leaders Manpreet Badal, Manoranjan Kalia and Praneet Kaur, were present.

Sharma thanked his party leadership for entrusting him with the responsibility as the working president.
