Abhijeet Dipke calls for government school admission of ministers' kids: 'No trust in own work?'
In a dig at government officials, Abhijeet Dipke asked why they don't enrol their children in government schools. "Do they not trust their own work?” he asked.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has urged ministers and officials in India's education department to send their children to government schools. Dipke believes that this would lead to significant improvements in the condition of these schools. He directed this appeal not only to ministers but to all those working in the education department, including principals and teachers.
Dipke's suggestion comes after his party's recent student protests against the NEET-UG paper leak in Delhi. As part of his ongoing "School Thik Karo" campaign, Dipke conducted the first school audit at a government school in his hometown of Santuk Pimpri in Maharashtra. He pointed out issues such as poor water supply, dirty washrooms, and broken windows.
Dipke also shared videos of broken windows allegedly covered by banners from the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra and clogged toilets. He announced that a checklist-based form would be used to record whether schools have access to basic amenities, which would then be collected and analyzed from schools across Maharashtra and the rest of the country.
Amidst questions about his own education credentials, Dipke insisted that he is ready to show his degree and other documents.
