Upadhyay does not consider democracy as a dimension of political life. He believes that as each vote is a connotation of political democracy, so is the principle of work for everyone a proof of economic democracy. Work firstly is to earn a living and every person has the freedom to choose his line of work. If the justified part of the national income is not received in return for work, then the work will be counted as useless. Economic democracy is necessary to develop the self-employment sector. For this, the decentralization of economy is essential.
