Maharashtra school's ‘drunk’ principal removed after CJP protest, claims Abhijeet Dipke
Abhijeet Dipke said CJP has demanded the recruitment of more teachers and benches, adding that the protests will continue until the demands are met.
The principal of a Zilla Parishad school in Hingoli district, Maharashtra, was removed from his position after protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and local villagers, according to CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke. Dipke announced the principal's suspension in a video message, describing it as a "big win." He claimed the principal frequently arrived at the school intoxicated and demanded his removal.
The protesters also called for the recruitment of additional teachers and the provision of more benches for students, stating that the demonstrations would continue until their demands were met. Dipke launched the "School Theek Karo" campaign on Independence Day, commencing inspections at government schools to identify problems such as inadequate water supply, absence of drinking water, insufficient benches, dirty restrooms, and broken windows.
The campaign follows Dipke's earlier "Season 2 of Jantar Mantar" protests, which were withdrawn following the resignation of then-Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das emphasized that this campaign marks the beginning of another phase, with Dipke asserting that it signifies the true start of Season 2.
Protests are occurring nationwide against inept governments and officials, with the CJP planning a nationwide listening tour to gather public input, prioritizing education reform starting from Independence Day.
