"I believe whatever contradictions that seem to exist in the stance of our allies, will be resolved satisfactorily in a manner, which will see orderly progress on all fronts in the years to come," Congress leader Manmohan Singh [ Images ], perceived to be the next finance minister, told reporters in New Delhi [ Images ].

He said the differences in views will be ironed out within the next 2-3 days and a Common Minimum Programme drawn up, which will be the basis of the Congress-led UPA (United Progressive Alliance [ Images ]) government's economic policy.

He said the party was ready to make compromises and still draw up a growth-oriented economic policy.

"Compromises have to be made. The mandate of the people is for a policy, which is pro-growth, but at the same time reflects the concerns of accelerated investment in agriculture, education and health," he said.
