In a meeting of 'Bacahapatra' (election manifesto) committee at Kamal Nath's residence, a detailed discussion was held on promises for the election due later this year.
Sources told IANS that the Congress will announce the promises in different intervals once the Assembly elections schedules are announced.

"Our vachan-patra will be the changing factor because all sections of society have been given priority in it. Importantly, we are going to only make those promises which can be fulfilled after coming into power. More than 100 promises are included in vachan-patra, which will be announced one by one, after the election dates are announced," Rajendra Singh told IANS.
In 2018, the Congress had brought the 'Vachan Patra' in which it announced various schemes. Among them the Jai Kisan farmer loan waiver scheme up to Rs 2 lakh, Rs 100 for using upto 100 electricity units and many more were included.
The grand-old party under the leadership of Kamal Nath had managed to back in power after 15 years, however, crisis broke out within the party had resulted collapse of the Congress government within 15 months as Jyotiraditya Scindia along with 22 MLAs switched over to the BJP in March 2020.
