Indore, Feb 14: Holding the Centre s stubborn attitude responsible for the deadlock over the new farm laws, Sanyukt Kisan Morcha s coordination panel member Shiv Kumar Sharma on Sunday said despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi s assurance in Parliament on holding talks with farmers, no date is conveyed by the government for the next round of talks.
The SKM, which is an umbrella body of 40 farmer organisations, has been steering the protests of farmers for the scrapping of the three agri marketing laws at borders of Delhi. The main reason for the deadlock on the new farm laws is the adiyal ravayya (stubborn attitude) of the Centre. We have already held 12 rounds of talks with the government, but it is not yet ready to give a legal guarantee to farmers on the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of crops, said Sharma, popularly known as Kakkaji , who heads the Rashtriya Kisan Majdoor Mahasangh (RKMS), a part of the SKM.
