Jaipur: A visit by a Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) team to a government primary school in Rampura-Kanwarpura village near Jaipur turned chaotic on Friday after villagers reportedly confronted and chased the activists away, with allegations of stone-pelting, assault and damage to vehicles.

The CJP team, which included party co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, had reached the village as part of its “School Thik Karo” campaign, aimed at highlighting the condition of government schools. According to reports, the team was confronted by locals and a scuffle broke out. CJP members alleged that they were assaulted and that stones were thrown during the confrontation.

Ranka was among those reportedly beaten during the incident, while CJP leaders claimed that vehicles accompanying the team were also damaged. The party alleged that the confrontation was politically motivated and accused people associated with the BJP of orchestrating the incident. The allegation has not been independently established.

School Declared Unsafe

The CJP had targeted the school as part of its campaign over concerns about poor infrastructure. Reports said the school building had earlier been declared unsafe, forcing students to attend classes in an alternative structure, including a shed reportedly located some distance from the main building.

Local residents, however, reportedly objected to the team’s intervention. They maintained that the school could be repaired locally and that funds for necessary work had already been sanctioned.

CJP Alleges Assault

Following the confrontation, CJP leaders strongly condemned the incident. The party alleged that its volunteers were attacked and that the team was forced to leave the village amid the commotion.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and other party members subsequently accused BJP supporters of being behind the violence. The BJP’s response to the allegations was awaited at the time of reporting.

The incident has intensified the political debate surrounding the condition of Rajasthan’s government schools and the CJP’s campaign to inspect and highlight shortcomings in educational infrastructure.

The Jaipur episode comes amid growing attention to the CJP’s “School Thik Karo” campaign, which has sought to put government-school infrastructure and education-related issues at the centre of its political activities.
