The Congress in Madhya Pradesh has started collecting feedback from all "stakeholders" before drawing up its "vision document" or the election manifesto for the coming Assembly elections.

The party may promise something on the lines of a statutory income commission for farmers, which it had promised in Karnataka elections, sources said.

Assembly elections in the BJP-ruled state, where the Congress is out of power for 15 years, are due by year-end.

Speaking to PTI, State Congress Manifesto Committee chief Rajendra Singh said, "We have started the process of taking feedback from various stakeholders, including women, farmers, labourers, youth and people from different walks of society like doctors, lawyers and others, to prepare the vision document (the manifesto)."
When asked if there would be separate manifestos for youth, farmers, women and others, Singh said, "There would be different sections for these stakeholders in the same document. We will talk to them before presenting a vision for their overall development in the next five years."
