Questioning the Gujarat model of development, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said the per capita income and investment in his state is better than that in Narendra Modi's state.
He also took a dig at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his comments made at SRCC college in Delhi University recently regarding dependence of Delhiites on milk sourced from Gujarat.
"I don't know what is Gujarat model. I only know Haryana model. We are on top," Hooda said at the HT conclave on investment opportunities in Sonepat-Kundli.
He was replying to a query whether Haryana has any plans to adopt Gujarat model on solar energy.
"If you talk about Gujarat model, please talk about the basic parameters of that," he said.
Hooda noted that Haryana is ahead of Gujarat in terms of per capita plan expenditure, per capita income, per capita investment and resource mobilisation.
He took a dig at Modi's claim that Delhiites drink tea made of milk produced in Gujarat, saying Haryana had more per capita milk production than Gujarat.
"When my friend Mr Modi came to SRCC in Delhi University, I heard him saying that anybody in Delhi who takes cup of tea, he drinks milk from Gujarat. My dear, per capita production in Gujarat is hardly 500 grams and per capita production of milk in Haryana is 780 grams per person," he said.
Hooda emphasised that one should come to the conclusion of best model of development on basis of some parameters.
"Resources mobilisation...It is 96.5 per cent in Gujarat, ub Haryana it is 192 per cent (in 11th Plan). Per capita income also, we are ahead of Gujarat. Per capita investment also, we are ahead of Gujarat," the Chief minister claimed.
