‘Madan Dilawar, 48 hrs’: CJP warns of minister’s exit

The CJP, or Cockroach Janta Party, has given the Rajasthan government a mere 48 hours to arrest those accused of involvement in a clash with its volunteers during a school inspection in Rampura Kanwarpura village, Jaipur district. The party has threatened a statewide agitation and a demand for the resignation of the Education Minister, Madan Dilawar, unless their demands are met.

On Friday, CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka alleged that the team was targeted by individuals associated with the BJP and criticized the police for not intervening.

Ranka claimed the team was assaulted during their inspection of a government primary school, as part of their "School Thik Karo" campaign. He detailed the various forms of violence they faced, including smashed vehicle windows, broken phones, and injuries sustained by the team members. Despite the alleged assault, Ranka accused local police of doing nothing to stop the attack.

The CJP also accused BJP workers of instigating the confrontation and accused the Rajasthan police of failing to protect the volunteers. While the police have not confirmed these allegations, Bagru DSP Dharmendra Sharma stated that he was unaware of the reported clash. The issue of restrictions on inspections of government schools has been a point of contention, with the CJP opposing policies that could inhibit public scrutiny of school conditions.
