But some people criticized my speech saying I didn't say anything about corruption. I had said that we need to move away from “mera kya” (What about me, how will I gain?). 'Mera Kya' and 'Mujhe Kya' have ruined us, we need a corruption free nation. Don't you all want to root out corruption?” said Modi.Recalling his long association with Haryana, Modi said that people of Haryana have given immense love to him and that they have special right over him.“Previously when I had visited Haryana, I had said that people of Haryana have special rights over me. Now that I have become the Prime Minister of India I repeat – people of Haryana have special rights over me. I tell you now; the government will do all it can for you,” said Modi.Modi rued the fact that despite taking the lead in feeding the people of the entire country, Haryana farmers have not got adequate monetary reward. He also announced that the his govt will soon launch “Prime Minister Gram Krishi Sichaee Yojana” for the benefit of farmers.“Farmers of Haryana fill coffers of the country with food grains. But our famers are left empty handed. Farmers here have never stepped back in feeding the hungry people of the country.

Some central schemes have been lying incomplete, I assure you I will try and complete them,” said Modi.Earlier , Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the Kaithal-Narwana-Hisar-Rajasthan national highway (NH-65) at Kaithal.
