He expressed confidence that the farmers' issue would be resolved very soon, to everybody's satisfaction.
Amarinder Singh was accompanied by his daughter and chief of Punjab BJP Mahila Morcha Jai Inder Kaur.
Farmer unions, who are protesting over their demand for a law on MSP, have rejected the proposal by the government.
Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal told the media on Monday that after discussions, the forums rejected the proposal.
"If the government is not giving legal guarantee of MSP, it means that the farmers of the country will continue to be looted. This is not acceptable," he added.
