Among the other claims made by Hooda are: "Haryana is at number one in productivity of wheat and mustard and availability of milk is 708 grams per capita per day (against the national average of 281 grams), whereas in Gujarat it is 435 grams. The plan budget of Haryana is Rs 10,446 per capita, whereas in thecase of Gujarat, it is Rs 8,380........
"The Haryana government has initiated a number of schemes in the social sector. It is giving scholarships ranging from Rs.75 to Rs.400 to the poor children studying in Classes1 to 12. This has benefitted 19.70 lakh (1.97 million) children and the percentage of drop-outs has reduced from 40 to 5. In Gujarat, the students belonging to the Scheduled Castes studying in Classes 6 to 8 get Rs.125 in a year and those in 8 to 12 are paid Rs.200 each. In Haryana, over 12.86 lakh aged men and women are given old age allowance of Rs. 500 to Rs.700 per month whereas in Gujarat, it is merely Rs.400 per month and benefits only 7.21 lakh beneficiaries."
But that's not all, according to Hooda.
"In Haryana, widow pension of Rs.750 per month is being given, whereas in the case of Gujarat, it is just Rs.400 per month. In Haryana, the number of beneficiaries is more than 5.37 lakh whereas in Gujarat, it is merely 85,179. The Haryana government also gives monthly pension of Rs 20,000 to freedom fighters, whereas in the land of Mahatma Gandhi, it is merely Rs 6,000," Hooda asserted.
