Interacting with industry leaders and entrepreneurs here, he said, "Time has come for corporates to share their profits with the farm sector. Your investment in research or farmland is not charity -- it is a gainful investment."

He also urged the political parties in the country to bring down the political temperature and said, "The dialogue between political parties cannot be a confrontation--the dialogue has to be soothing. Democracy is defined, friends, by dialogue and discourse."

According to him, India is a thriving federal society where there has to be sync between the Centre and the States. Dialogue between leaders and political parties is vital-absence of dialogue will not be good for our national mindset.
