Bengaluru: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in south Bengaluru called off a 24-hour hunger strike on Saturday May 21, after the Education Minister promised to reopen three government schools in the Chickpet area.
The party claimed that the schools were closed so that land could be given to private real estate firms, and threatened to escalate its protests against the State Government if its demands were not met.
