Hopeful of positive results in next talks with farmers: Munda

The senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said the Centre considered the farmers as "family members" and was committed to finding a solution to their concerns.

Farmers from Punjab and Haryana have continued to lay siege to the borders between the two states over a raft of demands, including a law on minimum support prices (MSP).

"Solutions can be found only through dialogue. The idea is to resolve their concerns by holding talks on key issues," he said during an interaction with reporters at his New Delhi residence.

The Centre has held three rounds of talks with the protesters but failed to end the impasse, with the farmers refusing to dial down on their demands. The Centre has sought to explain that it cannot frame and implement a law on MSP "in a hurry".
