In the resolution document, the Kamal Nath government has been charged with shutting down the pro-poor schemes launched by the Shivraj Singh government.

The BJP's document alleges that the Deendayal Rasoi scheme to provide food at inexpensive prices to the poor had been discontinued by the Kamal Nath government, which has been resumed by the BJP government.

The party promises that 4,000 rupees will be added to the Samman Fund launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the farmers. So, they will get a total of Rs 10,000 a year. The scheme is likely to benefit 77 lakh farmers.
