| Government data | Reserve Bank of India (NSDP per capita; via state-wise compilation) | State-wise NSDP per capita, current prices | 2015-01-01 | 2012-13 NSDP per capita: Haryana Rs 1,21,269; Gujarat Rs 1,02,826 |

Government's response
The Haryana Directorate of Economics and Statistics publishes state per-capita-income and NSDP figures that were the basis of the Chief Minister's comparison.
Analysis
Speaking at an investment conclave in April 2013, the Haryana Chief Minister said Haryana was ahead of Gujarat on per capita income and per capita investment, in the context of the debate over the 'Gujarat model'.
State-wise NSDP per-capita data for 2012-13 place Haryana at about Rs 1,21,269 and Gujarat at about Rs 1,02,826; the gap was similar in 2011-12. On the specific per-capita-income comparison he made, the claim holds.
Haryana was not the highest in the country on this measure, since Goa, Delhi and Sikkim were above it; the claim was a specific Haryana-versus-Gujarat comparison, and it is assessed only as such.

Notes
Direct quotes appear in the Economic Times report; no video/transcript was located, so quote_is_verbatim is false. The outcome comparison uses RBI/NSDP per-capita data accessed via a secondary compilation (the exact RBI table was not opened). Haryana also later claimed the highest per-capita income in the country (September 2014), which is outside the INC era window and not treated here.
