Gurugram: The Haryana government strongly believes in making youths self-reliant by providing employment opportunities to them, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said here on Sunday.

"This is the reason we are working on ‘stand-up’ policy, but some leaders are trying to mislead the public with their 'sit down policy' and promising freebies to them. This policy is very hazardous and people now understand the disadvantages of this policy as nothing has been given to the people of Delhi and now Punjab," he added.
