Amarinder Singh, a BJP leader and the former chief minister of Punjab, said that he had met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to talk about a number of issues pertaining to farmers. "Had a detailed meeting with Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji on wide-ranging issues related to Punjab, including the issues concerning the farmers," Singh wrote in a post on X. The meeting took place amid the continuous demonstrations by farmers, mostly from Punjab, who had just rejected the Center's proposal for government agencies to purchase cotton, maize, and pulses at Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for a five-year period. The farmers proceeded with their plan to march to the national capital, restating their demands for other related demands, including a legal guarantee for the MSP regime.

In the fourth round of talks with farmer leaders, a panel of three Union ministers proposed on Sunday that government agencies purchase pulses, maize, and cotton crops at minimum support prices (MSP) for five years after reaching an agreement with farmers. Farmer leaders involved in the 'Delhi Chalo' agitation have rejected this proposal.

Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee General Secretary Sarwan Singh Pandher said, “The Centre says something else in the discussions and while speaking at the press conference outside, they say different things. We have not given any proposal. We will move towards Delhi on February 21 at 11 am.”

Farmers plan to resume protests on February 21 after rejecting Center's MSP proposal

The government's plan to purchase pulses, maize, and cotton at MSP has been rejected by farmer leaders involved in the "Delhi Chalo" agitation. Three Union ministers on a panel on Sunday suggested, in the fourth round of negotiations with farmer leaders, that government organizations purchase pulses, maize, and cotton crops at minimum support prices (MSP) for a period of five years following an agreement with farmers. Sarwan Singh Pandher, general secretary of the Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, stated: "The Center says one thing in the talks and another thing when they speak at the press conference outside." We have not given any proposal. We will move towards Delhi on February 21 at 11 am.”
