The hike of 14 per cent in the Railway passenger fare is the highest one time increase ever made by any government post independence, he added.
Mr. Hooda said that Food Security Act as implemented by the UPA Government has proved as a respite for the poor. As many as 1.26 lakh people in Haryana were getting rice and wheat at the rate of Rs three and Rs two respectively under the Act.

On being asked to comment whether Congress could be an option for the people in the prevailing circumstances in the country, Mr. Hooda replied that Congress has always been in the heart of people as it is a policy based party. Mr. Hooda said that he had heard Mr. Modi’s speech during the Lok Sabaha Elections in which Mr. Modi said that the scale of development of any state could be gauged by its per capita income. Mr. Modi mentioned that the per capita income of Uttar Pradesh is Rs 33,000 whereas it is Rs 75,000 in Gujarat which is almost double than that of Uttar Pradesh. Mr. Hooda said that the per capita income in Haryana is Rs 1.35 lakh. This proves that Haryana is ahead of Gujarat in terms of development.
