‘Don’t play politics with me’: CJP’s Ranka confronts cop, cites Pradhan’s ouster

A heated altercation erupted between Ashutosh Ranka, co-convenor of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), and Thanagazi SHO Mahavir Singh during a school student protest in Jodhwas village, Rajasthan's Alwar district on Friday. Ranka invoked the recent resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to support the students' cause.

The protest began after a slab from the dilapidated roof of their government school collapsed two days prior, causing no injuries but raising safety concerns. Ranka demanded immediate action to address the students' concerns, warning of a larger agitation if the issues were not resolved within three months. The students' demands included the demolition of the unsafe building, repair of six classrooms, appointment of teachers, and construction of a new school building within three months. The administration accepted these demands after negotiations between the students and officials.
