The demonstrators were stopped about 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Delhi when they started their march last week.
Leaders of the farmers have since discussed their demands with the government.
However, they claimed that the offer was “not in their interest” on Monday night.
The government has suggested purchasing cotton, maize, and pulses through cooperatives for a period of five years at fixed floor prices, sometimes referred to as the Minimum Support Price, or MSP.
The farmers, however, assert that they will not back down from their demand for a “legal guarantee for MSP on all 23 crops”.
A agricultural union leader named Jagjit Singh Dallewal told local reporters, “We appeal to the government to either resolve our issues or remove barricades and allow us to proceed to Delhi to protest peacefully.”
They declare that on Wednesday they will start marching again.
In India, farmers constitute a significant voting bloc, and experts predict that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration would take great care not to enrage or alienate them. This year’s general elections will determine if his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wins a third consecutive term in office.
