CJP's Ashutosh Ranka And Team Flee After Vicious Attack During Jaipur School Visit, Stones Pelted, Car Vandalised | Video

On August 21, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) co-convenor and spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, along with his team, visited a government primary school in Rampura Kanwarpura village, Jaipur, as part of their 'School Thik Karo' campaign. The mission aimed to inspect schools and highlight issues with infrastructure and facilities. However, their visit took a violent turn as they faced resistance from locals, a confrontation, and stone-pelting.

Consequently, the team's vehicles were vandalized and they were forced to leave the village. Ashutosh Ranka and other CJP volunteers were reportedly beaten up and injured during the confrontation. A road blockade prevented the team from leaving, and villagers blocked the road, checking entering vehicles. Some villagers, joined by BJP workers, opposed the CJP's inspection, claiming the school could be repaired through local efforts and citing the government's pre-sanctioned Rs 12.50 lakh for its repairs.

The incident occurred amid tensions over the Rajasthan education department's recent restrictions on outsiders entering government schools, citing student privacy and child-protection concerns.
