Stop ISKCON supply of meals: AISF

​Vijayawada: The leaders of AISF demanded that the state government solve the problems of students. In this regard, the AISF leaders staged a protest at Lenin Centre here on Wednesday.

Addressing the media on the occasion, the AISF city secretary, KP Charan Sai alleged that the TDP government had shut down about 5,000 schools and 450 social welfare hostels across the state after coming to power.
