Protesting farmers have rebuffed the central government's latest plan for the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, deeming it unfavorable. Discontent with the proposal, they announced the resumption of their 'Delhi Chalo' march on February 21. Demand for MSP coverage extends beyond pulses, maize, and cotton crops to include all 23 crops. Talks between farmers and the government concluded without resolution, prompting the decision to proceed with the march. Farmer leaders assert the need for clarity and urge the government to address their concerns or permit peaceful protests in Delhi. No immediate meetings with the government are scheduled, but farmers remain open to dialogue.
