'Remember, UPA govt's biggest farm loan waiver will be the main attraction of the election manifesto as it has benefited an estimated four crore farmers of the country,' said Verappa Moily, Spokesman, Congress Party.

Beside this, Congress Party is planning to hold meetings with various organisation related to Artisians, Farmers Organisations, Apex Chambers body and Labour Unions to solicit their views before drafting election manifesto.

The manifesto committee is headed by senior Congress Leader and External Affairs Minister Mr Pranab Mukherjee. A sub-committee consists of Moily, Mani Shanker Aiyer and Arjun Sen Gupta has been set to fine tune suggestions.

However, the party is very cautious on the spiralling prise rise of essential commodities as it hit their `Aaam Admai' Plank, avers Congress Working Committee member.

With the Indo - US nuclear treaty under its belt that has propelled the party to a new horizon ending 34 years of nuclear apathied, the party thinks it will boost the prospect of congress in the forthcoming general election. 'It will also be a mainstay for the party manifesto,' said Moily.

This is the first time party has resorted to such exercise before the preparation of election manifesto, said Major Ved Prakash, Secretary, Congress.#
