The minister questioned Gandhi's proficiency in Hindi, referencing the full forms of IIT and IIM. Sharma discussed Uttar Pradesh's progress in implementing smart meters in the power sector and highlighted the state's leading position in installing PM Surya Ghar Yojana. In bioenergy, Sharma stated that Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of compressed biogas (CBG) but aims to increase its national market share.
