‘School Thik Karo’: Dipke announces CJP campaign for Independence Day, says rural kids failed ‘in worst way’

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced a nationwide campaign on Monday, titled "School Thik Karo," to focus on improving government schools in rural areas for Independence Day. Founder Abhijeet Dipke revealed the campaign's name on Wednesday, stating that rural kids should not have to plead for basic school facilities after 80 years of Independence.

Dipke emphasized that the government has failed rural children in the worst possible way. He called for sarpanches and parents to take responsibility for ensuring better basic facilities for children and pledged to begin the campaign in his own village, Hingoli, in Maharashtra's Marathwada region. The campaign aims to address the neglected state of government schools in villages, where children continue to lack facilities available to students in bigger cities.
