• It’s back to my small-town college for me, and my guest is the most illustrious alumnus of the same college, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the Chief Minister of Haryana. Welcome back to our old college, the Government College, Rohtak.

Pandit Neki Ram College. It was Government College, and then it was named after Pandit Neki Ram, a freedom fighter. Then it went to the university, and after I became chief minister, it has reverted back to the government.

• Not quite St Stephen’s or Presidency or Loyola.

But I feel proud of my college, and you must be proud of your college too.

• I believe that India is now being driven by people who come from small towns and non-elite institutions. Otherwise the top of the pyramid would have been too narrow for the country to go forward.

I’m proud of you. You are the editor of The Indian Express, and you have risen from this college to that place. I’m proud of you.

• We are here because you are here and you are doing very interesting things in your state.

Yes, our target is to become the Number 1 state in India. You’ll be happy to know that per capita investment in Haryana is the highest (in India) at Rs 78,500 this year.
