A doctorate from Amity University, Sharma became the second-time Member of Parliament (17th Lok Sabha) in the 2019 Parliamentary elections after successfully completing his first tenure in Modi government. He won the Parliamentary elections by getting more than 50 percent of the total votes cast in Gautam Budh Nagar constituency.
 
Sharma was first recognized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who gave him a place in his first cabinet in 2014.


==Controversies==
Sharma became the first MLA of Noida, winning by a massive margin of over 27,000 votes. He was elected as MLA from the Noida Assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh in March 2012. Apart from this, he has also participated and managed the Lok Sabha as well as the state assembly elections in Gautam Budha Nagar.


In September 2015, Mahesh Sharma met major controversy after stating: "We have renamed Aurangzeb Road after a person, who despite being a Muslim, is a great nationalist....", in reference to the late great and former President [[A. P. J. Abdul Kalam]], a Muslim.<ref>{{citation |title='Despite' being Muslim, Abdul Kalam was great nationalist, says Union Minister Mahesh Sharma |url=https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/despite-being-muslim-abdul-kalam-was-great-nationalist-says-union-minister-mahesh-sharma/articleshow/49013798.cms |newspaper=[[The Economic Times]] |date=18 September 2015}}</ref> His rivalry with BJP Leader [[Nawab Singh Nagar]] has been quite in limelight as Dr Mahesh was accused of using his veto power against Nagar since he was afraid of Nagar's stronghold in his constituency.<ref>{{Cite web |title=भाजपा में टिकट बंटवारे से गौतमबुद्धनगर में BJP नेता के समर्थक नाराज |url=https://www.jagran.com/elections/uttar-pradesh-ncr-former-minister-nawab-singh-nagar-ticket-cut-thousands-of-workers-angry-15395691.html |website=Dainik Jagran |language=hi |access-date=2020-04-30}}</ref> Ever since, he has been accused of being anti-gujjar community.

In 2016, he visited Ravi Sisodia's family, one of the prime attackers in the [[2015 Dadri lynching]] who died in police custody.
