"The first two points in our agenda for talks are- modalities to repeal the three farm laws, and mechanism and procedure to bring law for providing a legal guarantee on MSP (Minimum Support Price)," said Yogendra Yadav. Till now, five rounds of talks were held between the Centre and leaders of farmer unions.
