Dipke shared the video of protesting students and reiterated his argument that the resignation of one minister would not be enough to fix the education system.

'You all got answers now': CJP's Abhijeet Dipke backs Madhya Pradesh 'Gen Alpha' protest, recalls Pradhan's resignation

Madhya Pradesh CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke defended the protests led by his party's students against an alleged fee increase, stating that the situation resulted from the student agitation sparked by Delhi's Ek Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Pradhan stepped down as education minister on July 25 following a month-long protest by the CJP at Jantar Mantar due to alleged NEET-UG paper leaks.

Dipke shared a video of female school students in Madhya Pradesh protesting and chanting slogans like “Vidhayak ji, reduce our bus fares.” He announced a nationwide campaign on August 10 to improve government schools in villages, aiming to encourage parents to conduct social audits of basic facilities and urging sarpanches to take responsibility for enhancing schools in their regions.

Dipke highlighted the need to address rural educational infrastructure neglect, pointing out that children in villages walk long distances to school and face issues like inadequate drinking water and toilets. He declared August 15 as the launch date for the campaign from his village, Hingoli, Maharashtra, where he will meet the village head to push for improvements in local government schools.

Dipke's initiative aims to involve citizens, parents, and village leaders in addressing the neglect of rural education.
