Taking cognizance of thousands of farmers' marching towards the national capital, Delhi, with their tractors and trollies to raise their voice in demand for MSP and other facilities, Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Arjun Munda, on Tuesday told the media that Central Government is ready for dialogue. He said the Government is ready for negotiations and read to listen to every legal demand of the farmers and a solution can only be brought out by talking.

He was also a part of the government's delegation which met farmers' leaders in Chandigarh on Monday. However, there was no outcome of the marathon meeting, as announced by the farmers' leaders while addressing the media.
