CHANDIGARH: The talks between farmer leaders and a central delegation remained inconclusive on Wednesday, with Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announcing the next meeting on May 4.

Both sides agreed to take forward the discussions on various demands, including a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) on all crops in the next round of talks.

"A positive discussion took place in a cordial atmosphere. The talks will continue. The next meeting will take place on May 4," Chouhan said after the meeting which lasted for nearly four hours. The Wednesday's meeting was the third round of talks between the central ministers and farm body leaders in the current year. Earlier, the meetings were held on February 14 and 22. Last year in February, ahead of the parliamentary polls, three rounds of talks failed to reach a conclusive end.
