The party has also promised to implement MSP, or minimum support price, for farmer growing cash crops. The overall theme of the manifesto is based on 'work', 'wealth', and 'welfare', the party said."'Work' means you must provide jobs. 'Wealth' must be created before it is distributed. 'Welfare' means taking care of the poorer sections," the Congress said.Congress will establish an authority to monitor the distribution to the poor of government land and surplus land under the land ceiling Acts. The scope of the Public Procurement Policy will be expanded to award more public works contracts to contractors belonging to the Scheduled Castes.
