In October the protestors submitted a set of demands to Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and blocked the roads leading to Delhi. While the main demand of repealing the three farm Acts are still there, it appears that a section of the protestors have added new ones.
One of the added new demand is -
Withdraw all cases against farmer leaders all over India, intellectuals , poet , lawyers , human right activists, those who have been jailed in false cases should be released.
This makes the ruling party believe that this movement is hijacked by leftist political parties.
Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal, negotiating with protesting farmers, has said 'ultra-left and Maoist elements have hijacked the agitation'. Their demands, like asking for release of jailed Maoists, go beyond the farm laws, he added
There are 35 organisations which have held talks with the government.
