Should be mandatory for education officials to send their kids to government schools, says Dipke

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has called for education officials to send their children to government schools in Maharashtra. He criticized the government for not providing transportation to rural students, who often walk several kilometers to reach their schools. Dipke believes that ministers and politicians should also send their children to village schools for at least a day to understand the difficulties faced by rural students.

He launched a campaign called "School Thik Karo" (improve schools) and visited various schools to highlight the need for more teachers and infrastructure. Dipke stated that if government schools improved, he would have no issue contesting Lok Sabha elections. He accused education department officials of not taking action against teachers who drink and sleep in class, and he demanded that officials send their children to government schools to set an example.

Dipke also questioned why political leaders arrange transportation for their supporters during election rallies but cannot provide buses for poor students. He emphasized that children in remote areas often face long and difficult journeys to school, especially during the monsoon season. Dipke urged political leaders to address core issues like education and employment, rather than fueling caste and religious divisions.
