Union ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal and Nityanand Rai held rounds of talks with farm leaders in Chandigarh. Talks on 12 February ended without agreement, and the march began the next day. In the fourth round, on 18 February, the ministers proposed that government agencies buy pulses, maize and cotton at MSP for five years under agreements with farmers. On 19 February the farm leaders rejected the proposal; they said it was not in farmers' interest and kept their demand for a legal guarantee of MSP for all 23 crops. [2][4][1][3]
