New Delhi: The eighth round of talks between farmer unions and the central government on Friday proved inconclusive after both parties failed to agree on a resolution to end the deadlock over the three new agriculture legislations.
While the farmers had sought complete withdrawal of the three laws and a written guarantee on minimum support price (MSP), the Centre didn’t budge on the rollback of the laws.
The latest round of talks was held at Vigyan Bhawan after the last meeting on January 4 too remained inconclusive. The next dialogue will be held on January 15.
While the sixth round of talks on December 30 saw some breakthrough when the Centre conceded to two demands of the agitating farmers – of power subsidy and stubble burning – the previous rounds failed to make any substantive progress.
